Try Ungoogled Chromium!

Better yet, firefox

Doesn't help if they absolutely need to access something that "requires" Chromium. Which from their comment seems to be the case.

Unless you want to mess with user agent switcher but even that doesn't always work if it's relying on Chromium's nonstandard APIs, or if they fingerprint your browser and use that to block non-Chromium clients (which some websites actually do for some asinine reason).
