Sure, but if netflix, your bank, your power and water service, and a chat app, where 80% of your contacts are only support chrome, what will you do? Many banks already require hardware attestation from google for mobile apps and mandatory 2FA via that app is a pain on a rooted phone and workarounds are painful.

I mean sure, you can just not-use those services and not chat with everyone else, but that's a bad solution.




You should use them with Chrome

And the rest of the web can be accessed using the fork of Chrome

What’s the big deal? People have been using Popcorn Time to view movies that they couldn’t access, and so on.


I used to think this way and even made a browser extension to facilitate it (Browser Routr). Yet increasingly one must use Chrome or deal with random breakage and failed purchases because web devs cannot be bothered to try anything not Chrome. Sometimes even Safari is broken.


And just doing nothing is somehow a better solution?
