Yes, contact me OL. While this is a FreeBSD problem, no one is really
going to appreciate it being posted here.

Briefly, I need all the info you can give me.

1) Your OS and version
2) Web browser and version
3) Error messages, etcetera
4) Anything else pertinent to this problem.

I'll post it to their MS Teams technical site and see what transpires.
In all honestly, I feel they will use the FreeBSD equivalent of "RTFM";
i.e., Firefox and Chromium are NOT supported. I seriously doubt
that they will respond with "patches welcome", but that is just a
guess.

Now,depending on your interpretation of 'good news', Microsoft announced
that they will be releasing a version of 'Edge' for Linux. I have been
using the 'dev' channel on Windows for months now. In any case,
depending on how it is released to Linux, there is always a possibility
it can be ported to FreeBSD.

I also came across this URL regarding Google Chrome:
https://itsfoss.com/install-chrome-ubuntu/

Maybe that could be adopted for your use.

I also share your trepidation regarding 'wine'. The only wine I have
ever enjoyed was the one you drink, and I am a 'Scotch' (JW Black) man
myself. However, each to his own.
