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

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

They aren't "concerned about privacy", they are "concerned about privacy for the same price". And they are real cheapskates.

Note: for those who lack the knowledge, the "price" of a free product comes as an overall bugs / features ratio, where "bugs" and "features" are respectively defined as any undesirable / desirable behavior in the use case for the software.

I wonder if you deem Firefox buggy or having not enough features?

Using Firefox since it came out and never experienced any troubles.

Google Meet's background blur and visual filters do not work on Firefox. MS Teams straight up says that Firefox is not a supported browser. These decisions might be intentional on the part of Google and Microsoft, but to the average user of these popular products, it looks like a Firefox problem.

Are you using a useragent changer?

I am still getting this:

Screenshot of Microsoft Teams on Firefox. The text says "Hmm. Your browser version isn't supported. Quickest solution? Download the desktop app." Below it, Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome are listed as supported broswers.
