When going to use Adobe express on Firefox it comes up with the following message, saying that this browser doesn't play well with others and that I should use Safari, Google Chrome, or Microsoft Edge instead.

How is Chrome based on Safari?

Google used Apples WebKit and is still closely aligned to it.

Edit: So while technically Chrome is not a fork of Safari, they used enough of Apples tech that personally I don’t think it can be considered a uniquely independent product.

Thanks! Always happy to learn something new. This is saddening actually because it means that two of the big rendering engines today are more similar than different.
