Unfortunately I have it installed to double-check things and occasional compatibility purpose. Believe it or not, sites have started to appear who work in Chrome but not Firefox. Solution is most likely perfectly simple but developers just don't want to deal with it so I've been told "just use Chrome" few times in past few years.
Yep. There’s the occasional rare site that demands chrome. That’s when chromium comes in handy. I can’t think of a single site I use that I’m willing to install chrome for. Your needs are different, though.
I have no need for those sites either. It was one off thing. I remember it was a COVID pass thing I had to do prior to traveling, AliExpress asked for it couple of times but I only used it sporadically for family members. Stuff like that. But it is a trend am not liking as I did web development during IE6 and Microsoft dominance era and it took us decade+ to get rid of that grip. Am afraid Google's is even stronger.
