I will tell you something that most people won’t: you don’t have to use those websites.
It doesn’t matter how important you think they are, you can take a stand by not using them if they don’t respect you.
Do you know the reasoning behind the common saying “the united states doesn’t engage with terrorists”? Politics aside, it’s because engaging with your enemy legitimizes or empowers them. By refusing to negotiate or engage with terrorists, the policy aims to avoid granting them recognition or validation for their methods.
You can take the same stance; when a website stops working with non-chromium browsers you stop using it. You IMMEDIATELY stop using it, even better if you pay them money, you should IMMEDIATELY cancel citing that they’re stealing your intellectual freedom. If the US government does the same and you’re required to use a chromium browser to fill out your taxes for example, do it on paper, give them a message that you’d rather not use technology than have guns pointed at you

Sure, until there are almost no websites left you can go to.
that will likely not happen, FOSS tools will still respect you as a sovereign individual
There will always be ways around it. Every time a barrier is put up, there are people who try to figure out how to break through it. For fun.
I think, at least in my state, Unemployment needs to be filed online. I don’t believe there is an alternate process that doesn’t require the internet.
