With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.

I wonder if you deem Firefox buggy or having not enough features?

Using Firefox since it came out and never experienced any troubles.

Never? Are you only browsing Lemmy and Wikipedia?

Seriously, not to take anything away from what is does good, but Firefox is littered with bugs. And most websites seem to be optimised for Chrome these days which makes the Firefox experience a bit less nice.

Firefox is littered with bugs.

Links or it didn't happen. Seriously, I have used FF and only FF for the last 15 years and have had zero showstoppers.
Link me some links that work in chrome and not firefox, I wanna see!

The visual effects (background overlay, animations etc) in Google Meet do not work 😢

That's not a firefox bug but a deliberate google roadblock

Actually it works in Firefox since v112. You'll need to spoof your user agent to chrome to fool Google Meet into thinking you're using chrome.
