I don’t understand why people are complaining about this. If you’re concerned about privacy then why would you even use a Google product in the first place? There are other options.
> Hangouts does not work in Firefox. However, it works in Safari.
...barely. If you pop-out a window, it disconnects and closes the window after a minute or two of inactivity if the window is not active. This makes it totally unusable to me.
This started on October 30 2016. I submitted a series of bug reports to Apple, but they were all ignored and/or closed for inactivity. In case you care enough to submit your own bug report, please reference Apple bug 44725612, 29018740 and 28263663.
I'm pretty sure that Google could implement a fix/workaround, but good luck with that.
This drives me nuts. I have to keep a Chrome open just to use Hangouts.
Meet does not work as well in Firefox. If I use my BT headset I have to go into settings and switch back and forth between mics and outputs to get it to work. The connection fails more frequently than Chrome too.
Do yourself and the community a favor and when you see a website that doesn't work well make the Firefox Team aware of it[1].
They have a dedicated Team to check those issues.
I use Firefox in excess of 10 hours every day and don’t have any problems so I find this statement very surprising. I’m not sure about Chrome being the de facto standard either and even if it is, it doesn’t mean you have to follow it.
