If you can, use Firefox.

I wish I could stick to Firefox but I've been having trouble with looping captchas on there. 90% of the time Firefox works fine but there's still a handful of websites that just refuse to work unless I'm using chrome.

    Some websites intentionally change behavior based on your user agent. There are plenty of extensions for Firefox that let you change it so sites think you're using chrome instead. It's wild to me that's even a thing, but ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯
