As long as those apps will run in my web browser, I'll run them there. I don't install any of their "native" apps.. Although Google Meet is getting very difficult to run in Firefox. Crashes all the time.

Can you give us a couple of these crashes, that you can find in about:crashes (with the date sometimes its easy to find the right one) ?
If you send a link to [email protected] I can have a look, I'm on the media team at Mozilla (that includes WebRTC).
Thanks!
I'm going to try to capture a crash report and send it to you.
I should note that it's not a "crash" -- it's just that I get immediately disconnected from the meeting when I have my video + audio on and then someone else joins. I'll try to get some repro steps and send to you!
Works fine in my Firefox... And does Google even offer native PC apps any more? I work there and haven't heard of such a thing.
Drive and Photos have native apps, for obvious reasons (sync).
Doesn't google meet not have a native app? We use Google Meet at work and using a browser to screen share a browser or IDE window seems to absolutely peg my CPU no matter which browser I use.
I have no love for Zoom but at least they have a desktop app so I can screen share without bogging down my whole machine

Google meet crashing is interesting. I use it literally every day for meetings and I run Firefox as my primary browser (on Linux though, if that matters). I can't recall ever having a crash from it.
