a healthcare portal making me use chrome to access it is a crime

Use Chromium, the open source version of the browser that Google Chrome is based on, instead.

Same rendering engine without the privacy invasion of Google.

Better than a decade ago when every healthcare portal forced you to use Internet Exploder

lol true. The only reason I have chrome is because some websites aren’t going to allow themselves to work on just any browser.

Just keep it sandboxed so it doesn't do anything funky when not in use

is it as bad as a payroll/time sheet website requiring edge/chrome and otherwise shitting itself on the login screen

wait. i don't NEED to, but they give no indication that this is the case, and aggressively push me towards chrome. this is also a crime

i was using a government website and when i tried to look up my ticket i got an error message that was like "your information was not found in the database" I call and they say "oh yeah that happens if you're not using chrome" HOW is that possible

a lot of websites that demand chrome still work in firefox if you change your user-agent to pretend you're on chrome
