I've used Firefox since before it was called Firefox, but just last week I hit two instances where stuff I required for work required Chrome :(
Does it "require" Chrome, or does it require a Chrome user agent? I also have one of those sites for my job, but changing the user agent for that site in FFx works flawlessly.
I've got an office that prioritizes Edge for internal apps. I've been watching the Clippy-esque intrusive Microsoft options filling up my screen space like a late-90s Yahoo toolbar.
Stuff you need for work don't usually need any ad blocking to start with so that would be good enough.
Still feels bad that I need it to be installed, and more stuff in the future could require it. They were major sites that my business works with and does not own
They don’t get money from installs. Just ads and google products usage.
If anything, only using it for sites that won't generate ad revenue costs them money.
