A better way of turning it off is uninstalling it
On desktop, I'm really wondering why people use it. I mean it's not pre-installed for windows, what makes people choose Chrome in 2023?
There are some web apps that only support chrome on windows (or chrome and edge). An app from my doctor’s office refused to run on FF for a while. Thankfully it now has a “try running on unsupported browser “ link so I’m not blocked. (Let’s not get into why I’m running windows)
you can use agent switcher from firefox add-on and change your agent to chrome browser or whatever you like.
