I'm struggling with the concept of people putting effort into using uBlock Origin with Chrome.

I have to use Chrome to access a couple of sites that don't play nice with Firefox.

If they don't play nice then fuck em

My new rent portal is one of these sites. Can't just not pay rent because I don't like chromium browsers.

Rent portal? You mean bank account with direct debit and/or electronic transfer. What is a rent portal? How can you possibly benefit from having a website just to act as a middle man to collect your personal info?

Ah yes, because you get to choose how your landlord collects rent.

Because not everyone has a bank account. Some people get paid via a cash card or similar (as an alternative to paper checks or direct deposit if they don't have a bank account). This allows them to pay in alternate ways. But additionally all trouble calls/maintenance requests are done through that same portal. I signed my lease through it.
