Good luck with that. I don't have it on any of my
machines, but when I tried to renew my amateur radio
license this week I ran into a problem.

The fcc.gov website will only work in Chrome or Edge.

After two days of trying work-arounds and other
browsers, I finally ended up going to a neighbor's
and using her desktop with Win10 and Edge. The transaction
went right through.

I was also told by an fcc "help desk" person that
the site would not work with Safari either, so Mac
users are out of luck unless they download Chrome.

Tying a government website that millions of people
*have* to use to a Google product known for its
privacy and security issues is not a good decision
on the developers' part. I'm wondering at what level
the decision was made.

Nyssa, who doesn't have to worry about using that
website again for ten years, so can only hope that
somebody wises up before that and makes the government
websites browser-neutral

Working very well here with Vivaldi for Linux (Chromium-based).

It's IE6 all over again. The difference between now and twenty years ago
when Firefox came out is that building a web browser is way more
complicated. I might have to settle for De-Googled Chrome (Chromium) eventually.

From the top!

Governments generally do not like it's citizens to be private in what
they do...

I only use Chrome for Gmail and that's it. They can steal any data they
want because they already have it.

Genuinely curious question... why would you use gmail when there are so
many other free and more private options like disroot, riseup, tutanota,
posteo etc.

You are taking liberties.

I don't understand what you are saying. You make no sense.

Possibly because you are American.
