Anyone still using Chromium or any of its derivatives (including Chrome) just needs to suck it up and admit it's the loser here. Use a Firefox derivative, it's just all around better in every single way.

I had to call someone using Microsoft Teams today. It does not work with Firefox, even if you spoof the user agent.

[-] ocassionallyaduck@lemmy.world 23 points 2 years ago

I don't know what's up with your setup, but this is untrue. I've used Firefox for teams in browser for years with no issues.

I can try again with a friend on Momday. Is there a specific user agent extension or a about:config option you used?

[-] ocassionallyaduck@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Honestly no, I have a bunch of extensions but I never took specific action to make teams work. You do have to make sure popup are allowed and ublock and similar tools don't interfere with it, but it worked for me.

You might try grabbing a portable Firefox install from Portable Apps and testing that.

I had the same issue. It works but crashed once I went into a call.

Not a big fan of MS Teams but... it's worked for me before in the past. PEBCAK.

[-] rbesfe@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

Why not just download the teams app?

[-] mightyfoolish@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

The Teams app is probably just Chromium pointed to the teams website. Might as well have Chrome/Chromium installed at that point.

I’m using both Firefox as my daily browser, and Edge for school related stuff, Firefox is very often maxing out my CPU usage and I can’t figure out why

[-] GTG3000@programming.dev 7 points 2 years ago

Yeah, I find firefox tends to leak memory when you have youtube tabs open. Still using only firefox unless testing for compatibility but it is a thing.

[-] anas@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

It does get worse when using YouTube, but usually it’s my CPU that elevates, not my memory

Thank Google for that "feature"
