Some of the older stuff is indeed that way, but there are more and more features which Firefox can’t support. Web-based custom keyboard configuration tools, tools to flash phone firmware, and one niche MiniDisc tool all are chrome-only things I’ve had to open Chrome to use
we are really really better off without features that grant any website such deep access to our systems just by a single click, trust me. this is a security nightmare, especially looking at people who don't understand computers and those who instant allow permissions by reflex.
Yep. Forgot I had to use Chrome on Windows to flash GrapheneOS.
you don't have to, there's no need for that. they have a normal flashing tool too
Wait is this real? That's hilarious

Technically it works on Linux, but I didn't feel like installing a Chromium browser to do it at the time.
