Oh no! There are literally zero other options but to use Chrome!

I know you are being sarcastic, but it's not sarcasm at all, and therefore no laughing matter, when more and more websites drop support for none-chromium browsers, or actively block them. Netizens tend to have some missguided belief that every problem can be solved with software alone. This is a trap.

This impacts all Chromium based browsers. Unless support is maintained separately by browser vendor, only other option is Firefox or any of its forks.

This is kind of a time for Mozilla to shine, but I worry they will mess up and maybe even follow later.
