Or just use Firefox, where the button is there by default. Not that I like it, but it's a builtin.

I really like what Firefox represents, but we can't just recommend Firefox when many websites don't work well o Firefox. It might not be firefox's fault and I believe we should not endorse website browser exclusivity, but the fact is that if you have to use teams for instance, it is either the terribly inneficient and bug riddled app or the browser version which only supports calls on chromium based browsers. Maybe you have to use Chrome and you have to use that particular extension.

  If you are a teams customer please file a ticket to improve cross-browser support. The only way this will change is if their customers actually say something.

    I mean, there is nothing in the roadmap: https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/microsoft-365/roadmap?filters=Microsoft%20Teams&searchterms=Firefox https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/microsoft-365/roadmap?filter... And I already upvoted the support ticket for firefox: https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/36946039-calls-support-in-firefox-mozilla https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/su... However, teams was just an example. Just to say that sometimes people can't just use firefox despite their efforts. Trust me I tried for months, and in both the companies I worked, either teams or Palo Alto VPN freak out with firefox. Had to adopt Brave for the working environment. I use firefox for everything else, though.

  I know of Netflix that doesn't support Firefox for some reason (last time I tried) but what other websites don't work in Firefox? I'm using Firefox (+uBlock Origin) as my daily driver and everything seems to work fine for me.

    Netflix works fine for me in FF, but you will get a prompt to enable EME (DRM) on first visit on linux.

    For some reason, Key Bank won't let me login using Firefox unless I spoof my user agent. They claim it's due to security issues with the browser. This is more of an active check though. when I pretend to be Chrome using as different user agent in a container, everything works fine. Also, ADP (timesheets and paycheck system) frequently breaks for Firefox. Sometimes it just won't load any of its forms or grids when I'm using Firefox. I think they only test with Chrome.

Haven't seen this happen in quite some time.

        I'm not going to cancel my banking account and move to a different bank just because they don't want me accessing their website with a particular browser. It's not a big deal to bypass it and it's far more of a hassle to switch. No, ADP was broken for Firefox just a few months ago. My workplace is on the ESR release channel, so maybe it broke for the slightly older ESR version of Firefox?

    Netflix does work in Firefox now, though 4K playback in browser is still limited to Edge or Safari.

  Currently the worst offenders are video chat services using old non-standard WebRTC implementation. But this should be resolved this year with its deprecation and most services hopefully moving to standard WebRTC implementation. As for other non-working websites, you can report those directly to Firefox, that way they might be able to fix those.
