I haven't encountered any issue with Firefox for Android for years.

Here's how you can fix this all at once: https://old.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/g3tyfu/how_to_swit...

Google is intentionally breaking support for Firefox on their websites. Other just don't care and support monopolies.

Thanks, interesting, I'll try it out. I know I convinced my wife to switch to Firefox for Android (for uBlock) and she was complaining even more than I about all of her browsing workflows being crippled.

Compared to her I rarely use my phone for browsing, I do not feel as impacted.

Firefox does seem to be untested for a lot of websites.

You can't do video calls with Teams in firefox for a really clear and obvious example, but I encounter breakages quite often and have to switch back to Chrome.

Safari suffers the same, but I get the impression people are testing safari more than Chrome.. but I hear so many complaints on hackernews about safari, I suspect at some point Chrome penetration will finally dislodge Safari on MacOS... or if MacOS market share goes down: then it's over and we have a total monopoly.

Teams should be working in Firefox around now. https://www.onmsft.com/news/teams-meetings-set-to-support-2x...
