It got worse when I joined the workforce in 2017 and had to use Microsoft Teams there was no official Linux support, and the web app was designed to work only on their horrible MS browser. During the following years I witnessed with a lot of sadness a couple of websites that would work out-of-the-box just fine with Chrome and not on Firefox.

No worries, as it was not too hard to make them work in Firefox too, also HTML5 was becoming a thing so I hoped that somewhere down the line every audio and video format alongside their secure streaming service would become open.įor years I patiently waited until 2015 when it finally happened: I could only watch Netflix on Google Chrome and not on Firefox. Then came streaming services became popular and the first difference became apparent: Google's browser offered support for privative sound codecs and then video too.

About that time I first came across Google Chrome, but it was not anything shiny or better from what Firefox already had to offer on Linux.

By the end 2008 I went full-Linux user (and I still am) with no dual-boot.
