With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.

I find that usually it's a browser extension that's causing the issue.

The only consistent issue I've had is with certain google products, such as logins or specific Google Docs features, which feels intentional

For me it’s usually uBlock Origin causing the problem with Firefox. I personally use Firefox on Mac, Windows, and Linux. I use Chrome occasionally for stubborn websites or if I have to use q bunch of google related services that I don’t normally use.

The only extensions I run are privacy badger and the Google search fix. I do run strict tracking protection though. That's probably the culprit.

Privacy Badger does break a lot of websites too
