It wants me to download the standalone app (which apparently doesn't
exist for linux -- nothing happens when I click). It works with Chrome,
but Chrome crashes every once in a while taking the CPU with it and
causing massive overheating.

Works with Nightly FF too (using a clone of my FF82 profile), but I
don't want to depend on Nightly for anything.

As usual, google's 'help' function is useless.

Curiouser and curiouser.

And then it just started working again this morning. Getting to be as
erratic as Facebook.
