It really grinds my gears that so many big companies have taken their lightweight and usable mobile interfaces and borked them, replacing it with a page saying “Use our app 🤭”, then the app is just the mobile page in a webview wrapper for the majority of functions.
Ah…after 15 minutes of fucking around I was able to get it to work only after disabling all tracking prevention at Microsoft’s direction and clearing all browser history and requesting desktop website. Their instructions say to turn tracking protections back on when you are done using teams browser version…
Now I can go online and tell my team windows 11 is still installing. Hurray! 😂

I hate that so fucking much. Why would I fill my phone with crap apps for something that I only use once a month or so? Teams wouldn’t be the case since I use it often. But so much more apps are asking and sometimes forcing you to download an app that’s the exact same shit as loading the page… 🤦🏻♂️

It’s harder to track you in some browsers, like safari and Firefox.
But the best apps are the ones that tell you to go to the web page to access some key feature. Despite the website telling you, you need to download the app.

I had to do similar bullshit to get working on Firefox on Android.

Didn’t you know? With Microsoft products those trackers are required. The app just wouldn’t be able to function if they couldn’t track everything you typed into it. You should really be more thoughtful of Microsoft and how you’re being a big meany by not giving them your data.
