I'm reading this on Opera GX
Switched back to Opera a year (or maybe two, how time flies) ago.
Then discovered Opera GX, which is geared at gaming but even if you're not a gamer is an even smoother and more pleasurable browsing experience than regular opera.

Re: They don't use Microsoft...
Teams is available for the iPhone as well. I've already had the pleasure of having to install Teams on devices because teams was a requirement to participate in Some-Mandatory-Online-Activity.
Really, I've already way to many video conference tools on my iPhone, having to have Teams(business) as well as Teams(Personal) would be really frustrating

Re: Russians, alcohol, making toasts
Ah yes ... the artform also extends to the fact that somehow it's always the guests who get the honor of getting the leftovers from the bottle and seem to end up having to drink at least twice the amount.
Although for some reason the details of that meeting are a bit hazy
