People who have to use their browser for telehealth and virtual teller banking access.

Sadly these are also things that require better security.

Yup. Firefox doesn't work for me unfortunately, so I have to maintain Chrome on at least one device for these things

Hey, member when you always had to have IE for one of "those" sites and it was basically just an awful browser everyone was forced to have like as a legal requirement or something?

Heh. IE. Then when you'd use it to download firefox it'd say "Nooooo! Wait! I'm teh Best Browser!!" Hahahahah

IE. Ded.

I use Firefox for some teleconferencing, but my therapist's software only works on chrome

Does it have to be Chrome, or just e.g. Chromium is fine?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

That's a good question. I don't know that I can fully uninstall Chrome from my Tablet, only disable. Since I use it maybe a handful of times a month it isn't a big deal to just use it for the session. I don't feel the need to have another browser right now, but I appreciate you bringing that up
