This seems like a step closer to killing the open web.

"Sorry, you can only access this website using this specific device with a browser compiled by Big Tech, it's for your own good."

Not surprising that this is all coming from Google, the world's biggest adtech company.

It's the ad-tech sector of the web declaring a secession from the internet, for ads can't live under the law of the open web. The new AdWeb is going to look like appstores: websites will need to pay to the adweb owners, and users will need to use smartphones or locked down browsers. As for the open web, it will stay and continue evolving free from money making concerns.

This is already happening. It’s just mildly harder now. Try opening Teams in Firefox or Safari.

Good luck getting online banking to work outside Chrome and Edge.

If you call their support line to say something isn't working, they'll ask if you're using Chrome or Edge. If you aren't, they'll tell you to just use Chrome or Edge.

I'm not sure what you mean. I used Teams on Firefox, from my Linux laptop just this week.

gonna be real, from now on I'll now look into web browser support of banks I intend to open an account in

Last time I tried some icons were showing up huge (so they would take up most of the page)

Were you blocking any CSS/scripts/fonts?
