I hope this news travels to more gen pop. My 82yo MIL uses Firefox because she’s concerned about the acceleratingly encroaching “police state”. That being said as an IT manager, it’s hard to tell my employees to incur the friction of broken Google services (Meet, a few others) for the intangible privacy benefits.
Maps is the most frequent offender of something that is "kinda broken" on Firefox - black tiles/boxes, slowness, other things not rendering right. But on Chrome, it works fine 100% of the time.

What Google services are broken on Firefox?
My anecdata is that GSuite works completely fine daily driving Firefox.
Every once in a while google meet is notably worse with firefox, or some feature is only enabled on chrome. Not a big deal.

I have used Firefox on mobile and desktop for a better part of 15 years and I cannot recall seeing black boxes or tiles on Google Maps.
None of that happens for me.
Google meet works perfectly fine for me on Firefox
And even on Safari. But there are indeed chrome-only features AFAIK.
