Firefox implements everything the various web standards require. There are a few non standard features that Chromium implements that certain websites take advantage of, but the fact that their code isn't portable is not Firefox's fault. As for Teams... Microsoft's just being a dick: if you change the user agent it works just fine.

I "let people be" when their religion doesn't harm them or other people.

And I don't care if "not all Muslims think of women that way". Their decisions/opinions make them better people, they don't make Islam a better religion.

This is, of course, not limited to Islam.

Avalonia is great. It's cross-platform, supports hot reloading, it's XAML based, so not too different from HTML, it's FAST, has IDE integration and can be styled to match any OS's native UI.

"I'm bored. I think I'll try to destroy someone's life today, that seems fun."

Fixing the login doesn't fix the rest of Teams' problems. Maybe you're the chosen one and everything works for you, but it's not a common experience.

Oh I have it installed on both Windows 10 and Windows 11. It doesn't work. It takes ages to load, it never updates people's status correctly, half the time it doesn't even log in. Why they didn't just patch Skype instead of making that pile of garbage is beyond me.

Teams doesn't work on anything

We are not censorious. We are just tired of hearing the same predatory bullshit over and over again.

You don't master Javascript, ever. You just become accustomed to the madness and stop caring, while sometimes doing things right.

You're being downvoted because you're trying to be clever, yet your comment makes absolutely no sense, nor contributes to the conversation. It's literally described in the first amendment and many more state and federal laws. But let's pretend it wasn't, since the definition is vague. It is indeed mostly a social construct. There are still going to be consequences, just not legally. That shouldn't change and people shouldn't expect it to change, otherwise the world will become even more of a shithole than it already is.

Then you fundamentally don't understand what "freedom of speech" means. It means that you're allowed to say what you want without the government stopping you or punishing you. It doesn't mean there won't be consequences for what you say or do, as there should.

It's always been like this. Even in the 80s you could say what you wanted, but you were expected to know and accept that, socially, there would be consequences. It's only recently that this stupid idea of giving everyone a free pass to say and do whatever they like, no matter how hateful or asinine it is, came around, and it's not helping anyone.

If you're a Nazi and people and employers decide they don't want anything to do with you, then it's not their fault, it's yours. "But who are you to decide who's right and who's wrong?" moralists will say, as if a history of oppression and genocide wasn't enough to determine such an ideology is wrong.
