Just the Browser removes a bunch of AI cruft and telemetry garbage, and it’s incredibly easy to use. It supports Firefox and Edge, too!

Why not just use a browser that doesn’t have that stuff in the first place?
Some workplaces require chrome, unfortunately

Into elevated powershell windows should be summarily fired and prosecuted.
What do you mean “require”? My workplace says we need Chrome but I’ve used other browsers and never had a problem. It’s just one of those lazy “you’ll have the best experience if you use Chrome” BS because they can’t be bothered to validate or diagnose anything else.
Duo enforcement, for example. It’s pretty robust and hard to spoof. Some companies are willing to pay a lot of money to control their employees.
Google Duo? Like the video calling app? Thought that was dead…
At one of my previous employers, there was an intranet website where the nav menu would only work correctly in edge in IE compatibility mode. I’m not sure how they even managed this. I only used edge for that one website though, Firefox for everything else.
Most likely through your user agent. I have found some websites demand this and will block access but simply switching the user agent grants you access and everything works fine. This infuriates me. Again, they just can’t be bothered to support free browsers.
