I’m pretty sure that duckduckgo browser is based on Chromium. That should work in Chrome’s stead.
Comment on Canon requires an account to transfer images from your camera. Forces you to sign up using Chrome.

In order to access my tax and benefit accounts on the Government of Canada website I can only use Chrome … making sure to wipe all cookies, etc afterwards.
I freaking hate shite like this.

Nope. I use multiple browsers (DDG, Ghostery, Waterfox, etc) and none of them work.

Have you tried changing the user agent to chrome?
HellsBelle@sh.itjust.works 4 days ago
Nope. I will try that and see if it works tho.
Thanks for the head’s up.

Chrome.

Is that through the CRA website? I’ve been able to access it on Firefox (through Linux) without being hassled.
But yeah, websites that force you to use Chrome would get on my nerves. I’d be sandboxing that entire browsing session, too. LOL

I use FF on both Mac and PC for the CRA site. Can’t remember the last time I used a browser other than FF for anything.

I’ve had some sites simply not work right with Firefox, so I’ll use an alternative, usually just another flavour of Firefox, like Librewolf or Waterfox, and they tend to work just fine. It’s probably something to do with some of the locked down settings that I use on my primary browser, but it’s nothing compared to forced Google Chrome or gasp Internet Explorer. 😵

Same here.
Maybe they’ve got some privacy plug-ins that are preventing the CRA website from functioning properly?
In the past, I have had to add my bank and some government websites to my whitelist

I stopped using FF a while back. But if memory serves I wasn’t able to access gov’t sites with it either.
