Ok but Firefox is kinda bad compared to Edge, functionality wise. It beats it in privacy hands down though.
What features is Firefox possibly missing?
yeah, i don't want my browser to be bloated. . . by somebody.
I want it to be bloated by me with 2 dozens of my extensions. hahaha
if your talking about bing A.I. chat, you can just change your browser agent thru extension in order to use it in firefox.
Edge is so laggy and inefficient on low-spec hardware though, like try running that baby on 8 gigs of ram and... no, it's all crashes.
The only thing I use Edge for is work because we do a lot of stuff through Azure so it makes some things easier.
But never on my own computers.
Edge is basically only way to use Teams on Linux unfortunately...
With o365 and Azure I've felt better with Firefox (and containers plugin) since it allows me to separate my logins easily. This is probably not a big deal if you have just 1-2 accounts though...
Thats only a problem for you, Ive used teams on firefox running arch for ages without a problem
Glad it works for you. I've had various problems with calls/meetings and sharing, but microshit doesn't even support those on ff unfortunately https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/limits-specifications-teams#browsers
I have a separate work laptop and a KVM. I log into one domain on one account. So yeah, it's not an issue for my use case.
As for Teams on Linux, what distro are you running? There is a client for Ubuntu and others based on it. It never gave me any trouble.
I'm on Debian. The .deb "native" app was killed by M$ last year, while technically worked "fine" until recently.
I'm also working mainly on laptop provided by workplace, though I do sometimes access webapps from my desktop.
I see. I only JUST switched my laptop to Mint so I haven't even gone looking for it yet. I installed the beta probably early last year or maybe late '21 but never noticed it not updating lol Damn, that sucks ass.
And yeah, sorry, I meant a KVM switch. I love working from home. I go to the office about 10-15 times a year and travel for work a few times outside of that and that's enough of seeing some of my coworkers I need. My boss is on the same page. She's gonna be pissed if executive leadership ever take telework away from us.
