I've happily used Firefox on Windows and Linux to access all of my Google services, without issue, for years.
Can you expand on which services don't work with ff?
At Google there is a requirement to use Chrome - due to certain browser extensions - but that doesn't impact any of the services they provide.
- Rebelgecko 5y agoThere isn't a requirement to use Chrome at Google Source: work at Google and used Firefox until the latest UI refresh
- hobos_delight 5y agoThere was when I was there. How does BeyondCorp work with ff?
- Rebelgecko 5y agoYou can manually configure the browser to point it at the BeyondCorp proxy
- whycombagator 5y agoSheets and gmail were painful for me with FF. Moved to Brave, sadly
- NikolaeVarius 5y agoI use Gmail and Sheets just fine with Firefox. I haven't had any issues with it outside of the slowness of the app that I already notice in Chrome
- prirai 5y agoYou could use two browsers as well.
- cute_boi 5y agoThis is lie tbh. Chrome was caught with using some shadow dom api in firefox to slow it down. And Google meet transmit more data in firefox than using chrome which means google has added something in chrome. Also google drive doesn't work properly in firefox like it can't download multiple file. But if i use chrome/brave it works properly. And Gmail wont allow you to login from different browser in name of security reason. They do many thing to shift user from firefox to chrome/chromium browser for many reason.
- prirai 5y agoSame. I use ungoogled chromium for google services.
- RheingoldRiver 5y agoI haven't been able to use Hangouts reliably in Firefox in ages. I guess maybe it's better now but I just open Chrome every time I get a Hangout link at this point so I have no idea...which is sort of the point, if it's broken for long enough it's effectively broken forever.
