There's a video service my therapist uses that refuses to run in Firefox. I expect it probably could, but it's a lot less work to just launch chrome for that one use case.
Install a user agent switcher. There are several for Firefox and you can spoof chrome.
Welllll I also have the other use case of my partner refuses to switch, so she wants chrome on the computer too.
Use different user accounts. Do you own thing. You can have both installed.
I do have both installed, but it's easier to use chrome for the one use case I have since it's going to be installed anyway for her
Edit: oh you mean a user agent switcher too... Well, that seems like work ๐
I'm saying that you log in as "jojo" to the computer and another account is called "jojo's gf". You can do whatever you want in each and won't bother the other. Computers are designed for muiltiuser use.
It doesn't bother either of us to be using the same login on the computer. And it doesn't really bother her that firefix is installed nor me that chrome is.
And since chrome is sitting right there, it's the easiest way to use my therapist's video service.
