Chrome is one of the first things I disable on my Android devices, and I hate the idea of signing up for any accounts just to access local files.

But Canon welcomed me with a big surprise, and a fuck you, too!

    In order to access my tax and benefit accounts on the Government of Canada website I can only use Chrome … making sure to wipe all cookies, etc afterwards.

    I freaking hate shite like this.

      Is that through the CRA website? I’ve been able to access it on Firefox (through Linux) without being hassled.

      But yeah, websites that force you to use Chrome would get on my nerves. I’d be sandboxing that entire browsing session, too. LOL

        Same here.

        Maybe they’ve got some privacy plug-ins that are preventing the CRA website from functioning properly?

        In the past, I have had to add my bank and some government websites to my whitelist

        I use FF on both Mac and PC for the CRA site. Can’t remember the last time I used a browser other than FF for anything.

          I’ve had some sites simply not work right with Firefox, so I’ll use an alternative, usually just another flavour of Firefox, like Librewolf or Waterfox, and they tend to work just fine. It’s probably something to do with some of the locked down settings that I use on my primary browser, but it’s nothing compared to forced Google Chrome or gasp Internet Explorer. 😵
