    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.

        They work great for me in chromium based browsers like Arc or Brave

          And those are basically Chrome.

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

            They use the chrome rendering engine but they are not chrome. You get the best of both worlds. Compatibility with your corporate g suite whatever with a security/privacy-first mindset (at least with Brave)
