    Who needs to give their browser access to their camera?

      May be bad phrasing, but Firefox doesn’t support h.265 so there’s limitations with streaming video on some camera platforms and other sites.

      People who have to use their browser for telehealth and virtual teller banking access.

      Sadly these are also things that require better security.

        Yup. Firefox doesn’t work for me unfortunately, so I have to maintain Chrome on at least one device for these things

          Hey, member when you always had to have IE for one of “those” sites and it was basically just an awful browser everyone was forced to have like as a legal requirement or something?

          Heh. IE. Then when you’d use it to download firefox it’d say “Nooooo! Wait! I’m teh Best Browser!!” Hahahahah

          IE. Ded.

            That’s a good question. I don’t know that I can fully uninstall Chrome from my Tablet, only disable. Since I use it maybe a handful of times a month it isn’t a big deal to just use it for the session. I don’t feel the need to have another browser right now, but I appreciate you bringing that up

      People who use Webex, zoom, etc for one use in try browser and don’t normally use those links. Happens at work when an outside vendor doesn’t use what we do.

      I use MS teams for meetings every day at work, in Firefox, in Linux. It’s nice that even the camera works when I need it to.

      I do this with Discord and Zoom as an alternative to installing their actual apps. 99% of the functionality is there anyway, and the 1% is stuff I don’t want anyway

      It’s so frustratingly annoying. I primarily use Firefox, but switch to Chrome for specific Google services on my mobile. Once in a while, the search suggests I take a photo? Why?
