The browser feature under discussion is clearly intended for small screen mobile devices. Accessibility keyboards are just keyboards from the web page’s perspective
It's clearly NOT intended only for small screen mobile devices. There's no reason to restrict suggesting input types to mobile browsers only. That's exactly why desktop Chrome and Firefox has support it for a long time now.

[Citation Needed] What google site or service requires Chrome?
Sure, it's a lab experiment or whatever, but these are just words, and the effect is that I have to use a different browser to be able to use them, for absolutely no technical reason. (The LLM is running on Google's servers and provides plaintext. I think Firefox could handle that.)
Just visit this on Firefox if you want to see for yourself, including a big "install Chrome" call to action: https://labs.google.com/search/install

Are you objecting to single sign on or something? Or some browser extension that is only published for Chrome? What are you talking about?
every time i get a new work machine i attempt to use a browser that is not chrome. last time was firefox, this time was safari. eventually i start using chrome on certain sites because of ublock origin. then, as was the case with aws, certain websites are flakey enough times that i just give in and use chrome full time. side note: hey aws, why is your rds performance insights dashboard broken on safari? 33% of the ti…
> eventually i start using chrome on certain sites because of ublock origin. uBO works fine on Firefox for what it's worth. Maybe even better because of the lack of Manifest v3 restrictions.
Yes. If it works on Chrome, no one cares or even tests for other things. If there is a JS feature in Chrome they want to use, so it’s impossible to use other browsers (instead of looking wrong) people do it. Performs fine in Chrome? Ship it. Yes, Chrome is the new IE in that it’s the only browsers companies care about, just like IE was for a very long time. Everything has to be Chrome compatible to succeed. That’s th…
I manage websites for a couple of non-profits. A very high percentage of traffic is from Safari (mostly on iOS) -- 40% on one site. Only testing in Chrome seems like a bad idea.

Unless you want to have customers on iOS.

> using the 4th wealthiest company on earth's browser that I freely installed. 99% of the time I use Chrome it's because some site does not support Firefox (and that often includes Google sites/apps). (The 1% are for APIs that Firefox, consciously or out of resource constraints, does not support.) In what sense am I "freely installing" Chrome in this situation? Just today I had a family member reach out to me, unable…
I don't understand this because I have used Firefox exclusively since it first came out and never run into broken sites. What exactly are these exotic sites you are visiting that break in Firefox? You mentioned an elusive government website but I have used many (IRS, SSA, Edu, etc...)
And look no further than Google themselves: https://labs.google.com/search/install

Google's competitors in the advertisement space are all lined up to sue Google into oblivion the moment they disable third-party cookies.
Why?
