My only use for chrome is to interact with the google web apps that don’t work well in firefox or safari. Otherwise it wouldn’t be installed.

IMO Google softly requires you to use chrome because their tools, in my experience, are unstable in other browsers (I’m looking at you meet)

The cynic in me is doubtful that this is entirely by accident.

So I have a Gmail (G Suite Free) account, and I use Thunderbird on any computer I use regularly. Gmail is painfully slow to being almost unusable on Firefox. Sometimes I cannot get emails to send. So if I'm logging in temporarily, I'm usually forced to use Chrome.

I think is just one example of Chromium being a bit too ubiquitous, and forcing users into the Google black hole.

Is there an affordable paid custom domain email option with good spam filtering?
