Does anyone on lemmy use chrome?
Yes
🤮
I use it for some tasks at work that don't function correctly on Firefox (for whatever reason our local intranet doesn't play nice with FF) but other than that, I am almost exclusively using Firefox.
Now if someone can come up with a better search engine than Google....
Why chrome instead of something like chromium?
IT is picky about what I'm allowed to install on their machines.
That's the only reason why I have a Chrome install, sometimes some pages (it's always store pages) don't work correctly on Firefox, but that's becoming more rare.
Does Vivaldi count? In that case, daily. I did install Firefox recently to try it out again, though.
I use Chrome, but Firefox on my android phone. I have had ublock origin installed since the beginning. I only really use it because I manage my YouTube and Google accounts through it, and its handy for sending tabs between my macbook and PC, as well as the various other workflow features I've come to rely on over the last decade or so.
Though I recently heard this was a feature on Firefox now. I used to use Firefox prior to chrome, about 15 or so years ago. I've been intending to switch back recently but haven't got round to it yet.
Firefox can do that too
Yeah, I did say someone recently told me this was a feature. I'll find some time at the weekend to make the switch, it's really far past time now I think.
I'm glad to hear that!
I use it for a couple things, although my primary browser is Firefox. I use Google Workspace for my business so I have a Chrome profile set up for that. Another business I’m involved with uses M365. It’s easy to set up another Chrome profile for that. I like to keep work separate from my personal stuff and this setup works well for me.
