I didn't have this experience at all. I switch browsers all the time just so I can know how they are, it's painless every time. I've used non-chromium edge, chromium Edge, Brave, Chrome, Firefox, OperaGX, and probably something else. Chrome is probably my least favorite, as it just doesn't have any bells and whistles.

Oh I was way deeper than just browser

I unfortunately had an account, my entire phone linked to it, my Microsoft account linked to it and even my authenticator app linked to it which was responsible for 2FA on most of my non Google accounts.

It was all interlinked in a way that made removing it from the root hard

I can't say I relate to that at all. I'm not sure what you mean by having your MS account linked to chrome, and stuff like my authenticator is on my phone, I didn't even know you could use chrome as an authenticator.
