But this is actually a troubling fact. Chrome is still a google "product", and web now being bigger than before google is trying bad tactics. I've experieced this issue myself, I cannot download a google drive file from firefox or edge, (it has something to do with redirects handling). I find this highly troubling.
I have never experienced the download issue with drive. But I have came across permission denied where i have multiple google accounts opened and if the downloading account is not the primary one. The error was consistent across all browsers.
I've encountered many sites that seem to work correctly only inside Google, and not just Google sites. There is a lot of lazy web development going, where sites are just not being properly tested.
There will always be small sites where developers are lazy to optimize it for all browsers, but the fact that google did this in one of their core products shows their mentality.
I don't like the word "optimize" here. Making a site work cross-browser isn't optimizing, it's just basic testing. It's really not that hard to accomplish unless you actively get tied in to the new <1% features one browser offers.

Maybe, someday, folks at google will realize what they are doing

In the end it falls on us, as developers and users to keep the web open.
