I keep brave or chromium installed for cases like this (if I really have to access that website).
Regular use it's just Librewolf. No point in adding to the chrome's stats, and still sending data back to Google on top of that.
Same! I have a copy of chrome, but I should get rid of that and just use brave. I didn’t really think about it and just put chrome on there in a rush.
I mean just for instances when a page does not work with Firefox.
Like I legit needed to fill out then government form, I don’t know what to tell you. I use Firefox all the time, but the site legit wasn’t working. I can’t skip out on the form and then just tell them, if it didn’t work on Firefox.
I know microsoft is not loved by anyone, but this is why I was so furious when they caved and switched Edge to Chromium.. Especially since they caved because Google literally abused their position to intentionally and maliciously degrade performance on Edge.
Cause I'd rather have Microsoft/IE/Edge still out there sucking up % away from Chromium, than them ceeding their land and territory to google.
