Is there a significant difference between the search experience for Firefox desktop and Chrome on desktop?

Hi, @thamaraiselvam.
I am currently using the Firefox add-on call User-Agent Switcher and Manager [Link] for spoofing my desktop browser. You can probably check that out. 👍

On Firefox on desktop the voice search on Google website is missing.

The underlying technology (speech recognition) is not supported on Firefox, neither on desktop, nor on Android. I don't see the button when I visit Google on Android with and without this extension.

I have tried on Chrome on Android and:

1. Italian Google as mobile => No speech button present
2. Italian Google viewed as desktop => Speech button present
3. English Google as mobile => Speech button present
4. English Google viewed as desktop => Speech button present

I'm not sure but probably it may need to spoof also other things.

I cannot tell it for sure but isn't the speech recognition on the site itself?
I always though that the browser just use the microphone and the Google website use the Google servers to recognize it but I may be wrong.

Edit: When you visit the site on Firefox for Android with this add-on enabled and an account logged on Google and you choose to switch to English it display the voice search for 1 second before disappear.
