With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.

Firefox is littered with bugs.

Links or it didn't happen. Seriously, I have used FF and only FF for the last 15 years and have had zero showstoppers.
Link me some links that work in chrome and not firefox, I wanna see!

The visual effects (background overlay, animations etc) in Google Meet do not work ๐Ÿ˜ข

That's not a firefox bug but a deliberate google roadblock

Actually it works in Firefox since v112. You'll need to spoof your user agent to chrome to fool Google Meet into thinking you're using chrome.
