     @arstechnica great, another hack of an app.

     Regardless, I'll never use it.

     @arstechnica updated it on my Mac and indeed it feels way snappier. Especially after I disabled the animations - whatever that means cause I didn’t notice any difference from that standpoint 😆
     Hope that now it will not stop responding ding to clicks every now and then like it did for years before

     @arstechnica how about being sensible and make it a native app, not one built on a web browser. Lordy lordy.

     @arstechnica I installed the new version on my MacBook today. It’s so much better. TIP: You can uninstall your old teams first, then install the new Teams package for a cleaner install. It also removes the switch at the top.

     @arstechnica Is this really going to be much faster? It’s still Chromium underneath. I guess there can be a bit more resource sharing though
