    “Do you want to import your settings from your previous browser?”

    “Do you want to make Chrome your default browser?”

    “Are you sure?”

    FUCK OFF, I’M ONLY USING THIS STUPID PROGRAM BECAUSE MY ASSHOLE UTILITY COMPANY’S WEBSITE DOESN’T WORK WITH FIREFOX

      Try user agent switcher. More often than not, websites work just fine with firefox but refuse to load when the browser identifies as not-fascist-google-trash.

            I doubt it’s malice as often as a cost saving measure presented in a scummy/lazy way.
            The simple fact is that all browsers load pages differently.
            If you want to minimise cost, you’ll optimise the site to the most popular browsers.
            Firefox, unfortunately, is at the very bottom of the popular browser list.

            There’s absolutely nothing else that most sites gain by promoting Google.
            Except, as of recent, a lower likelihood of user having an ad blocker.
