Firefox is my main browser but there's a few specific things that only work in chromium.
People will use whatever works for them.

    Other than MS Teams, which is garbage by default, I have yet to find anything that's not working in Firefox.

    Might be a niche use case, but I sometimes need WebUSB, WebSerial or WebXR, none of which are supported in Firefox.
    Just gotta protect them like with other permissions.

    Also, Firefox mobile still doesn't support mutual TLS, and so I need another browser just for that.

    When I've used Teams for meetings from my home computers, I use the web version (as I don't really want to instal the app.) I've never had an issue with it on Firefox; not even on devices running Linux.

    I always use the browser versions as well since I want to avoid installing anything Microsoft that's not absolutely necessary, and never got teams to work in Firefox. With user agent faker I can get it to connect, but the connection was horrible and that tab in FF hogged up 8GB RAM all by itself.
