[Trainer-Talk] A Google Drive Bug With Chromium-based Browsers

[Dr Denise M Robinson]

This is correct about the bug in anything chromium based like edge and Google Chrome and I put a video out on it with a commands in Firefox and it works great in Firefox
Same commands that should be working in those browsers, but until they’re updated, they will not be working for you
