I'm warning Google that Google Chrome may soon be disabled on my devices.
Unfortunately for work I may have no choice:-(. Several of our daily work products I've tried on Firefox without success. Those also don't have ads.
I wish there were better alternatives. I may try out LibreWolf but I could not imagine it somehow being easier, though with enough effort put in the end result may be all that matters. Until the first update (possibly forced on the server end even if I don't on mine) that breaks everything and I cannot do my work for the day, in which case I will absolutely go crawling back to Chrome, bc they have us by the short hairs there.:-(
My company just plain old won't install Firefox without a good reason.
I'm stuck using chrome or edge. Once the ad block stops working on chrome, I move over.
On my work computer I don't have admin rights but still I could install Firefox with no problems. It installed itself for local user only.
