Chrome ain't better in any meaningful way for >99% of use cases. Heck, I am a dev and I use FF with ublock origin only, for past... 10 years?

Same with my wife, after I've explained things to her and she understood how different internet experience can be thats the primary browser.

So please don't put the argument like 'here is crappy underdog but please use it because monopoly is bad and google is a bit evil', its first class experience in everything I have ever thrown at it. Tripple that on mobile, by far the best mobile and useful mobile experience, bar none.

Agreed, though many websites only test on Chrome and are unusable on Firefox. Ramp.com and mailgun come immediately to mind. Zoom also won't let you join with browser on Firefox. There's enough that I have to keep a chrome available for those types of sites. It shouldn't be this way, but it is

FF works for me.

do you hack your user agent or anything to get it to show you the option?
You haven't needed to in quite a while. Well, assuming you're on desktop? I guess I've never tried it on mobile. That feels like asking for trouble.

I ran Zoom in my Firefox desktop browser for a while, but it tended to overheat my laptop. Other things overheat it too, so I don't know how much was specific to Zoom on Firefox.

I just checked. Still gives me the option ("Join from browser" in a less highlighted option, trying to drive you to their native client I guess.)
