  Meet is as shitty on Safari as Google feels they can get away with

  "AI overview" (which I happen to find really useful) was only available on Chrome and Safari for at least a few months. Sure, it's a lab experiment or whatever, but these are just words, and the effect is that I have to use a different browser to be able to use them, for absolutely no technical reason. (The LLM is running on Google's servers and provides plaintext. I think Firefox could handle that.) Just visit this on Firefox if you want to see for yourself, including a big "install Chrome" call to action: https://labs.google.com/search/install https://labs.google.com/search/install

    Doesn't really support your statement then.

  I don't know of anything that is completely broken, but some functionality requiers chrome: On Google Docs, paste as markdown, copy and paste from menus, paste without formatting, etc. only works on chrome. This functionality could be done with standard APIs, but instead google uses a hidden, pre-installed extension to implement it. Offline mode doesn't work on firefox for either gmail or google docs. Google doodles don't show up on Firefox Mobile, unless you spoof a chrome user agent. Youtube has repeatedly had serious performance problems on Firefox.

  There are less options for screen sharing on Google Meet.
