I recently discovered that you can get Microsoft Edge for Linux (🤢🤮) and am curious... does anyone here use Edge for Linux, or have you ever? What was your reasoning for using it?

EDIT: Well, you all have provided some interesting perspectives I hadn't ever considered. Including one which means I'll have to install Edge, so... thanks, I guess. 😂

    Joining calls doesn't work for me, tried it again a couple of days ago.

    Discord, Jitsi, Google Meet, Nextcloud Talk and everything else works fine in Firefox, only teams refuses to work.

    Strange. The other day I had a call on Teams with a customer and had no problems using Firefox 117.0 on NixOS, but I recall that some months ago some features (like microphone and screensharing) where unavailable.

    Maybe Microsoft hasn't rolled out the update in your region/org?

    My org is slow to get updates, that might be it

    edit: tried call from M$ Teams today and got the popup saying :

    Try a different browser This feature isn't available yet for your browser. Try the web app with Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome, or switch to the desktop app.

    And then a download link

    I'm on FF117 on Fedora (F38)

    Second edit:

    changing User-Agents worked to remove the popup, but crashed FF instead
