I think the most annoying thing here is the decision to blanket ban other browsers. Why not just have a little drop-down bar at the top that says ‘You may encounter issues, we recommend browsing this site with Google Chrome’, instead of completely blocking access? The cynic in me suspects it’s linked to advertising.
If one changes the user agent in Firefox so that it announces itself as Chrome, most of these sites work just fine. Adobe Express is the last example I tried.
Great suggestions.

It’s made by the same developer who made Sponsorblock, which I also strongly recommend (it skips over in-video sponsors, title sequences, non-music sections in music videos, etc.). Just remember to turn it off for channels whom you wish to support.
There’re a couple of huge downsides (for me personally) to streaming services that just grinds with me:
Perhaps physical media is better these days (than DVDs were) for scrobbing, but then you have the FBI piracy messages to deal with. I’ve never owned a BluRay player, perhaps they’re better?
But I know that sailing the high seas gets me a high-quality video, and I can jump backwards ~5 seconds instantaneously when I’ve not heard a bit a of dialogue.
You should replace ‘You…’’ in your response with ‘From an ideal security standpoint one…’.
OP obviously does want to RDP to their machine, they stated as such. For most people, accessing a desktop-class machine from a mobile device isn’t a significant issue.
It’s this kind of gatekeeping that keeps newcomers away from Linux.
