What is the preferred solution when a website demands a chrome-based browser?

I don't know what websites y'all are going to where this is such a commonly reported problem, but I've been using Firefox for over 10 years and I've literally never once seen this problem.

Trying to configure my keyboard through the VIA site. It needs HID and mozilla wont do it because unsafe. I get that it is not so smart to expose your usb devices to your browser but being able to enable it for a session would also be fine...so i had to install chrome.

Yeah only chrome has the webusb support, I use ungoogled chromium whenever I need to use webusb.

Use an extension that spoofs the user agent, usually works fine (for what I came across at least).

I've had a few that will work on Firefox if not on tor. I know one website (my mortgage company) that specifically asks for "Chrome-based" and lists several such browsers as options.

There was a period Netflix drm refused to run on Firefox

Teams forces you to use chrome or their god awful desktop app

Mobilepay app requires you to have chrome installed to login to it
