Just use Firefox

there's a portion of the internet that just doesn't work in Firefox because the company pays only $2 million a year for developers and they can't do it
I mean web developers not the Firefox developers stop down voting me
I use Firefox and Linux and I don't drive a car how about that
please give me $40

our engineers cannot test their work in firefox.

I think our company does something similar (Chrome by default, need to ask IT for anything else), but our department just said, "we need Macs to do our work, you have no power here..." I hate macOS, but I hate stupid IT policies more.
This nonsense is part of why I prefer to work for smaller companies.

Due to security policy, we cannot run vm. Oh, btw, we do android development too. I guess they didn't know android studio runs a vm. So that is ok

I found one the other day but I don't even recall what it was. I almost never have any problems.
My biggest issue is video streaming on older computers. I have an old laptop I use casually for video playing in the background, and Webkit browsers like Edge definitely load YouTube with far less stuttering. I'm still trying to find good alternatives - lately even changing the user agent doesn't seem to make it faster.
