  I literally have un-installed chrome. I had to use it on an office machine today and it felt weird.

    The default browser at my work is Firefox lol, only our testing team and a few others use Chrome. It’s a pretty welcome change 👍

    I find it a little funny when we get Chrome-specific bug reports though

    I’m so happy I can freely use Firefox at work. 😅

  Aside from Firefox, are there any decent non-Chromium-based browsers left?

    There are many. They’re just not as popular.
