By no means am I a fan of Zoom and agree browser-based video call platforms are superior but, Google needs to cut the nonsense of treating Firefox (and I guess Safari) as second-class. The only reason I have a de-Googled Chrome on my systems is to use Meet.

I'm in the same boat.

Background blur used to work fine on Firefox, until they suddenly removed it and claimed that only Chrome can do those effects. A super obvious move to force users to their own browser. Luckily with the new Macs, you can do blur on the OS level instead of in the browser. Now it's only the auto-cropping that I'm missing.

Heh, I use Google Meet on a Weekly Basis in Firefox in Debian Stable. No issues here?
