I just discovered that Google refuses to support any assistive tech on Workspaces unless the user is using Chrome: https://support.google.com/a/answer/33864

They can’t be forced to sell soon enough.




Would selling change anything? There are a lot of sites and apps that only work in Chrome that Google didn’t make.


This is monopolistic behaviour: it leverages a product (Workgroups) to force a minority group to switch to another product (Chrome). Most users of Workgroups don’t have an option to change, because it’s provided for them by their company.


What does selling Chrome practically change? Workspaces can still force that group to use the browser that Google deems friendliest to its business practices, including a sold Chrome.
