Which is hilarious since if you spoof your Firefox UA string to be Chrome or Edgeium, all Teams features work properly in the browser.

- ccmcarey 6y agoYep. Google also offers a lot of "rich cards" in their search (interactive things mostly) that are only available on Chrome .. unless you change the user agent of another browser to Chrome, in which case it also works perfectly.
- saagarjha 6y agoGoogle actually seems to show those to me occasionally in Safari.
- lou1306 6y agoIANAL but would not that be grounds for abuse of dominant position? Using their dominance in web search to undercut competing browser vendors?
- ccmcarey 6y agoChrome accounts for ~70% of browser use. It is a majority, but it's not total dominance. For reference, IE accounted for ~96% of browser use when that whole antitrust case was happening.
- diablerouge 6y agoAh, but the point was about using "their dominance in web search to undercut competing browser vendors". In this case, ~90% of web searches go through Google[0]. So they are using the fact that they are the number one web search engine to convince users to switch to Google Chrome.

- ccmcarey 6y agoAh, true, thanks for pointing that out.
- Hickfang 6y ago@ccmcarey: “Chrome accounts for ~70% of browser use” That would be Microsoft Chrome :]
- jdsully 6y agoI have hit cases, especially with the O365 admin panel where things are just broken in FireFox. They didn't even bother to deny FireFox, just didn't test at all.
