自2026年6月起，使用 Firefox 访问 Google Workspace 的用户开始收到强制切换至 Google Chrome 的提示。尽管用户使用的软硬件均为最新版本，却被告知其当前浏览器可能因“安全”原因即将无法访问工作账户。谷歌官方支持并未就此项强制要求提供任何有意义的说明。作者对这种被迫的平台依赖表示不满，并指出这为那些需要跨浏览器兼容性以及偏好 Firefox 生态系统的团队带来了不必要的工作流程障碍。此举似乎是试图限制浏览器选择，在没有明确功能性理由的情况下强制推行 Chrome 的使用。

Hacker News 上近期出现了一场讨论，内容涉及 Google Workspace 屏蔽 Firefox 访问的反馈，这引发了关于垄断行为和浏览器兼容性的担忧。许多用户最初猜测，Google 可能是为了推广其自身的安全标准（如设备绑定会话凭据 DBSC），或是为了惩罚 Firefox 继续支持 Manifest V2，从而有意限制 Firefox。然而，一些技术背景的参与者澄清，这很可能并非 Google 全局性的政策。问题的根源在于 Google Workspace 内一项可配置的功能“情境感知访问”（Context-Aware Access），它允许企业 IT 管理员强制执行特定的安全要求。由于 Firefox 可能缺乏对某些端点验证插件或特定组织安全设置所需设备策略限制的支持，用户因此被拒绝访问。评论者建议，受影响的用户应向其内部 IT 或信息安全团队反馈，而非推测这是 Google 更广泛的反竞争举措。尽管如此，该事件再次引发了关于浏览器识别、特性检测以及对特定站点浏览器限制日益不满的讨论。

At the time of writing (2026-06-18), Google Workspace appears to be starting to warn users from Firefox that they must use Chrome. This was for a Google Workspace Business Plus account and workspace, from an up to date browser and OS.

At this time, Firefox access still seems to work but I’ve no idea for how long.

Response from Google support

Absolutely nothing useful, repeatedly transferred around and took ages.

Why do I care?

My team need to make sure that their software works in multiple browsers, and I personally prefer using firefox and don’t want to be forced to use Chrome for no discernable benefit.
