Yes that's true and I'm sure it isn't that bad. I just don't like the way they are trying to force their browser on everyone which is why I try to avoid Edge as much as possible. It's kind of a personal principle now. Microsoft likely doesn't care about that though since, as you said, they are successful with that technique.
Funny enought i installed Edge on Linux in order to use Teams decently. But happily avoid Microsoft elswhere.
Teams works fine in Vivaldi or any chromium browser on Linux.
Teams has been a dumpster fire for me on Linux in browser or using their native client. When it does actually work (which isn't often), it makes Zoom crash. I avoid it at all costs these days.
I'm still using the flatpak and just discovered I couldn't share my screen during a video call. I know the native app is deprecated. Can you help me understand what works or doesn't if I install Edge? Is assume then I'd load my teams URL in edge and get the same familiar interface, just in a different wrapper.
I actually don’t mind Edge now that Bing chat is a thing
