> Cloud Shell is available throughout our documentation set on Chrome desktop browsers (version 74 or higher).

Is there really a reason this couldn't be made to work on Firefox? Or could they just not be bothered?

Possibly related to the 3p cookies limitation described in the docs? Cloud Shell itself has wide ranging browser support.


Which is funny because Chrome is dropping 3p cookies soon as well.


This is cool but I wish they updated the rest of their docs so the platform was more usable. I’m sure under the hood things make sense and integrate well with each other and other Google products but there’s no way I’m going to invest in figuring that out. Don’t know why such a major tech company has such a difficult time writing decent user documentation


What? I've found their docs to be surprisingly good and functional.


Awesome feature! Especially when creating those one-off resources to play around with them.
