    My company uses G Suite extensively, and I exclusively use Firefox. I haven’t found a single thing that doesn’t work in Firefox thus far.

    Some lawyer somewhere will wind up with a fat payday if some important feature of Gmail/Sheets/Docs gets locked to Chrome exclusively, as soon as anyone notices.

      FF is my daily driver (tho I do have to use other browsers for testing and such). G Suite works great for me in FF as well.

      Unrelated to G Suite, Google search on mobile should work perfectly fine on Firefox, but Google has decided anyone not using chrome will get a “mobile” version of the site. There’s an addon that fixes that by just changing the user-agent string.

        From the description on Oct 5th, 2020 “Firefox engineers are working with Google to fix this situation, but it is unclear how long that process will take.”

        Is this addon really still necessary 3 years later? Have they done nothing to fix this officially?

          And those are basically Chrome.

          WebKit, Gecko, and other rendering engines don’t always get full compatibility, even if they’re super standards compliant.
