Google didn't even make Inbox available on Firefox for months because they didn't care, and when they did, they ended up serving entirely different HTML and JS to FF.
This is the same Google that is still keeping Allo Web and Google Earth a Chrome exclusive, the same one that has paid adware vendors to sneakily install Chrome, etc.
Sure, you can believe that this is jist a coincidence. But that's one unlucky streak of coincidences. In fact, you'd be more likely to win the Powerball ten times in a row than for all this to happen by coincidence.
- what_ever 9y agoAllo web has been available on browsers other than Chrome for a while - http://www.androidpolice.com/2017/10/03/allo-web-adds-support-firefox-opera-ios/ http://www.androidpolice.com/2017/10/03/allo-web-adds-suppor... This gives a good reason why Google Earth is only on Chrome - https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/66ao68/new_version_of_google_earth_runs_on_chrome_only/dghvg1p/ https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/66ao68/new_version_o... Disclaimer: I work at Google but not any of the related teams. I was curious myself about these so I Googled and came across the above two articles so these opinions are of my own.
- robin_reala 9y agoAny chance you could poke the Hangouts team to get that working in Firefox? At this point they’ve have 28 months public notice that Mozilla would be deprecating NPAPI.
- gsnedders 9y agoHangouts works in Firefox Nightly now.
- robin_reala 9y agoOh! Great news, it didn’t when I last tested a couple of weeks ago so I’d assumed there was no progress.
