Microsoft Teams is nos usable with Ephemeral:

I don't seem to have any issue there (on elementary OS Hera & Ephemeral), although I don't have any organization registered there so I cannot test in the web app itself. But login with skype account went through fine.

Anyway, can you test it in Epiphany, to see if it's really Ephemeral issue or rather WebkitGTK issue? And what is your Webkit version?

[Peter2121]

Thanks for pointing WebKit. I could solve the problem upgrading webkit2-gtk3: 2.28.4 -> 2.30.1 and rebuilding Ephemeral. For your information: with Epiphany MS Teams does not work at all (I cannot pass authentication - problem of cookies). I did not search deeper as Epiphany is too heavy and it has too many dependencies, I don't want to have all of them installed on my PC.

Yes, this is the new Inteligent Tracking Protection (ITP) implemented in WebkitGTK and Epiphany 3.38. I have problems with this too, as I had in Safari in my office some time ago. I'm trying to get them to allow some whitelisting on their bugzilla, you can upvote the issue there if you want.

[Peter2121]

If the ITP problem is WebKit-related - how could it work in Ephemeral and don't work in Epiphany using the same WebKit??

[janxkoci]

I'm guessing, but I see two options: either it needs to be enabled in the browser too, or possibly it's because of the version - flatpak of Epiphany has webkit 2.30.1, while Ephemeral is still using 2.28, until 2.30 will be backported. From what you said though, I think it's the first case - it needs work in the browser too.

[Peter2121]

So, it would be possible to activate/deactivate this option in browser? Nice :) Note that I built Ephemeral with 2.30.

[janxkoci]

I hope this will get implemented, yes.

I noted, that's why I bet on the first option ;)
