Keep chrome installed and fall back iff forced to. That way the majority of usage statistics show up as other browsers so when developers are making guesses at which browser to support, those statistics will push them away from chrome.

Additionally: you would be surprised how infrequently you have to switch to chrome



Can't remember the last time I actually had to open a website on chrome for compatibility reasons. Is that still a thing?


The F1TV site didn't work on Firefox earlier this year but send to be fixed now, other than that I haven't had any issues.


I only have to switch to chrome for e-transfers. Everything else seems to work


Btw, the 'website requires chrome browser' problem is often solved if you just make Firefox user agent say it is Chrome.


The problem is this needs to be a standard Firefox feature.


There's one site I have to switch to Firefox for. And it's a big one that handles a lot of money, so that's kind of surprising. Can't log into their site in chrome, no matter how hard I try. Nor edge.
