I do this with Discord and Zoom as an alternative to installing their actual apps. 99% of the functionality is there anyway, and the 1% is stuff I don’t want anyway
That’s a good question. I don’t know that I can fully uninstall Chrome from my Tablet, only disable. Since I use it maybe a handful of times a month it isn’t a big deal to just use it for the session. I don’t feel the need to have another browser right now, but I appreciate you bringing that up
Hey, member when you always had to have IE for one of “those” sites and it was basically just an awful browser everyone was forced to have like as a legal requirement or something?
Heh. IE. Then when you’d use it to download firefox it’d say “Nooooo! Wait! I’m teh Best Browser!!” Hahahahah
People who use Webex, zoom, etc for one use in try browser and don’t normally use those links. Happens at work when an outside vendor doesn’t use what we do.
It’s so frustratingly annoying. I primarily use Firefox, but switch to Chrome for specific Google services on my mobile. Once in a while, the search suggests I take a photo? Why?
I know, it’s just handy to sometimes open the website, don’t have to have anything installed. Normally I watch through HTPC that had Kodi with Jellyfin integration. That’s a fantastic combo, best of both worlds.
Careful, there are some edgy people out there who don’t want to use more than one browser because Firefox doesn’t work with their cameras /s
Meanwhile, I’ll still be using Firefox too

Who needs to give their browser access to their camera?

People who have to use their browser for telehealth and virtual teller banking access.
Sadly these are also things that require better security.
Yup. Firefox doesn’t work for me unfortunately, so I have to maintain Chrome on at least one device for these things
Does it have to be Chrome, or just e.g. Chromium is fine?

IE. Ded.
I use Firefox for some teleconferencing, but my therapist’s software only works on chrome
I use MS teams for meetings every day at work, in Firefox, in Linux. It’s nice that even the camera works when I need it to.

Y’all got any more of that data?

May be bad phrasing, but Firefox doesn’t support h.265 so there’s limitations with streaming video on some camera platforms and other sites.
TIL Firefox doesn’t support HEVC. Hadn’t really noticed that before, I guess it’s why some Jellyfin streams started transcoding for me.
Neither does it support HDR content
It is supported in the nightly build and full support is in the works currently.

You’re better off using the Jellyfin Media Player standalone application anyway.
