Detail info on installation is here: HowToUse AdBlock TypeOfAddon To Block ADs/etc In Basic WebBrowser and HowToUse Basic WebServices in Basic WebBrowser. Inside TB web-browser tab, you may need to stop annoying & privacy-rights violating ADs/deceptions, So you may need to get AdBlock type of addon's XPI file from Mozilla Firefox addons website, and then load that XPI file inside TB if the addon is not available in TB addons website : get uBlock Origin addon, (imo, its better than AdBlock addon in many aspects). If you want to use more (advanced) features from Google-Hangouts web-service (aka: GH network, previously aka: GT network) then do this : TB includes basic web-browser (aka: lightweight web-browser), so a web-browser tab can be opened-up inside TB, and used to connect with Google-Hangouts web-service (aka: GH network) website directly, to send/receive IM messages with your any contacts-list/address-book.TB is created with C, C++, JavaScript, CSS, Rust, XUL, XBL. TB also supports instant messaging and chat using IRC, XMPP, Twitter, (Yahoo-Messenger, Skype, Facebook, etc 1), it can also function as News Client, Feed Reader, etc. But it supports only basic features: text chat.

TB has builtin 1 ability/feat to connect with Google-Talk 1/Google-Hangouts 1 text messaging web-service (aka: network). SOLUTION (for Catalina & Mojave users) is, use THUNDERBIRD. Simple & trustworthy, and more uptodate, and more devs supported, and more user supported, etc based TB (since v?) has began to include GPG 1 tool, and from TB v78 (for Windows/Linux/Unix, & different version ? on macOS) it transitioned to use builtin OpenPGP 1, 2, 3, so separate GPG/PGP tool not needed anymore), so user/you can send+receive digitally signed and/or encrypted emails with it, for free.

Thunderbird 1, 2 (TB) is a better alternative choice for some of those missing options.

Another option is to use a HyperVisor 1 (aka: Virtualization 1) app (f.e.: VirtualBox) to run another/second instance of a macOS (f.e.: High-Sierra as a guest macOS), inside a guest virtual Mac computer/machine in the host macOS Mojave/Catalina/BigSur, and use the "Messages.app" with GH network support/feature & other apps inside guest macOS, as specific feature necessary for user is missing(aka: not-present) in host macOS.

(See detail instruction shown below for more info, if you have time)

at this moment, i would suggest to use an alternative & trustworthy app that can connect with Google-Hangouts/GH/GT network, which is: Thunderbird app, it can connect with Google-Hangouts IM (instant-messaging) network (aka: web-service), or use your own choice of other app.

Though its not a fully working solution, hopefully other users can collaborate & improve & find a complete solution.

But user "JBis" has shown at-least some partial way to copy specific files, settings, etc from older macOS to Mojave/Catalina.

Google-Hangouts (aka: GH, aka: classic Hangouts, previously aka: Google-Talk, aka: GT) support was dropped from Mojave & Catalina, so "Messages" app cannot use that web-service (aka: network) anymore normally, and a complete solution is not-found yet.
