If you don't like how Google is able to do this, know it's because of it's market share, and you should just use Firefox.

I've been on Firefox for years. Was never much of a problem, but lately there's more and more sites that require a Chromium-based browser. Some of them quite crucial. A list from experience:

  1. My bank's mortgage page
  2. Microsoft Teams - only supports Chrome, safari and edge on MacOs.
  3. Microsoft Office - has weird quirks on MacOs
  4. The new Adobe Express, requires Chrome or Edge
  5. Google Meet - after years google still only supports Chromium-based browsers if you wish to use video effects
  6. Microsoft's new video editing thing

AFAIK Netflix limits resolution on every browser but Edge

See this kind of shit is why I pirate, not because I can't afford to pay $10 a month. When the $10 for a lot of content becomes $10 per month per piece of media you like, and you can't watch it on your platform of choice, and you can't watch it on a flight without paying more or not at all, this makes the $5 per month I pay for a VPN sound like a far better service.
