This is one of the strongest arguments against an Internet monoculture. Shame about all those alternative browsers dying to the point that now if you're working on one, CloudFlare/Google/etc are likely to just block your browser entirely.
Everyone's using the same massive-scale app and now that it's a central point of failure it's wildly irresponsible to not load it down with telemetry. It sucks. If it were instead a healthy market of like 4-8 different browsers people were using, a major issue in one of them wouldn't necessarily be a crisis because people could just boot up a different browser and the bug would only impact say 5-25% of a website's visitors at most instead of The Majority Of Them.
