> Google services work great in other browsers

I see you haven't tried Gmail in Firefox. Or Google Meet.

Firefox is my main browser and I use Gmail daily. Can’t speak for Google Meet.

Admittedly I only use the gmail web client for viewing email and not much else, but I have never had issues with gmail on firefox. What problems are you experiencing?

The initial load takes forever, and opening emails is much slower than in a Chromium-based browser.

I use both services in librewolf and they both work ok. Gmail works just fine, meet sometimes doesn't turn on audio.

Google limits Firefox Android to a limited version of google.com [1], whereas Chrome Android gets the fancy one [2].

You can download an add-on to change the user-agent string and get the same google.com experience as Chrome: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/google-search...

Google Docs Dictation is not enabled for firefox.
