That's my general attitude, but I need these for work.

My new rent portal is one of these sites. Can't just not pay rent because I don't like chromium browsers.

Rent portal? You mean bank account with direct debit and/or electronic transfer. What is a rent portal? How can you possibly benefit from having a website just to act as a middle man to collect your personal info?

[–] JandroDelSol@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Ah yes, because you get to choose how your landlord collects rent.

[–] atrielienz@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

Because not everyone has a bank account. Some people get paid via a cash card or similar (as an alternative to paper checks or direct deposit if they don't have a bank account). This allows them to pay in alternate ways. But additionally all trouble calls/maintenance requests are done through that same portal. I signed my lease through it.
