My company is a Google shop, we use Google docs for collaboration, Gmail, and Google Calendar, and Google Hangouts, and Meet and all that. All of this works best in Chrome. On Safari you get huge RAM bloat necessitating killing the browser every few days, same with Firefox, some things like video meets don't work at all.

Sounds exactly like IE6 in “Microsoft shops”.

Actually, that is horrifying. That their webapps are usable only through their browser. Google, I guess, achieved what Microsoft couldn't
