Yup. Quick books and our government website both require chrome. It's like.... The stuff I do that I most care about not giving to Google, I have to give to Google. Drag.

You can try with chromium based browsers that are more privacy friendly. I find Vivaldi works on sites that don't like Firefox. There's also brave or duck duck go's mobile browser.

I second Vivaldi. It's a great chromium based alternative to chrome, and the level of customisation on offer is jaw-dropping. Its mouse gestures in particular, have been a huge convenience. The only thing about it that irks me somewhat is that it's noticeably slower to start compared to Firefox and Edge.

Vivaldi is non-free so it's a non-starter for me. "Privacy friendly" isn't enough for me, I need the four freedoms.

Will give them a try, thank you!
