Yeaaah i fking hate it "Please install google chrome to use this feature" nah, Imma skip it entirely
I was trying to bid on a couple of municipal projects recently, and got this. Nope. I'll go to the library, maybe.
I'm really curious if it's real or some bullshit. Do chromium based browser have something Firefox doesn't? I'm talking about all those "Please install Firefox to use X" because I doubt it
They have tracking and zero privacy. Some websites wouldnt be profitable or worth it if they couldn't collect and sell data.
Google is a data broker.
Yes, that's obvious, what I mean is if they have some kind of tools/functions that make it be able to do something others can't. The example that comes in mind is when I was checking a website someone suggested me https://my.rhinoshield.eu/ where it says "your browser isn't supported to do whatever it does, please install chrome"
Firefox
vs
Chromium based browser
How do we know the reason it won't work on Firefox? It could be some trivial piece of tracking couldn't it?
It's just a small rural area, population wise, in the South. Probably some free build-a-site that came with hosting.
