>What irritates me now are more and more sites that only work with Chrome (where they literally throw up a page that blocks access and says go download Chrome).

Any example of this?. Because I've never visited such a site.

Inbox during the Beta.

Signal's desktop client.

Google Earth.

Google Translate works, but has 3 helpful dialogs telling you to install Chrome.

Google Search on Mobile Firefox is heavily restricted in functionality, and tells to install Chrome.

Under some situations, Google will replace the first 4 search results and replace them with a "your browser is outdated, install Chrome" while also adding a top bar saying the same, and a dialog at the top right.
