The problem is just we have to use the sites. There's no real choice ( we have some of this for work too). I'm not losing my job or impacting my medical care for a browser war. If I can fool the site with an extension or something, then if I know that I'll do it. But this idea that you can just avoid browsers when you need a website is not really true. I will say - I very rarely see these problems compared to back in the day. But I have contacted tech support and they just say use the working browser. I can't report a bug, they don't even understand why I'm being a PITA.
I just use Firefox until it definitely doesn’t work, then I use a chromium browser because of course I can’t not have access to a crucial website for my life.
