... and that's how browser monopolies are formed.
Your "something better" is certainly Chrome.
But that's irellevant because the likes of teams and google chat are made for management and at best sales, while slack is made for engineers.
All I know is the other two browser major engines work a lot better in practice than WebKit.
I don’t really know or care as an end user if WebKit represents browser choice. The fact is they Apple isn’t putting enough effort in to making their browser engine “just work” with popular websites.
If it was a requirement in iOS and a default in macOS nobody would choose it by choice. It would be dead as a doornail if it competed in a free market.
In my experience a comparatively broke Mozilla Foundation makes a better browser experience than the most profitable consumer electronics company in the world. Apple needs to do better.
I ran Teams calls in Firefox on Linux for years, it worked as well as Zoom, I'd say. Other integrations, like the online office files had some issues. Didn't do chats there, though, only the meetings.
Weird, there are an awful lot of engineers (last 3 SaaS companies I worked for) that are all Teams.
Do you think anyone asked them what they prefer? :)
