Some training content for work (I think it was for an in-browser code security training). And I’ve run into one or two sites where they required me to try in Chrome for a support issue, just can’t remember what it was. And newbs vibe-producing corporate tool proofs of concept as Chrome plugins because it’s simpler and doesn’t depend on any gatekeepers to deployment. (Fortunately, other gatekeepers still got a chance to say “no” and forced it to become a real web application.)
There was a time when Chrome was fresh that it seemed to be a fast, lightweight feeling new alternative. I didn’t switch back until I was looking for more control over content presentation options.

I tried it a few years ago. It was expensive compared to popular alternatives, and it didn’t directly integrate with my mainstream chest strap anymore. You still had to run multiple apps to collect your data, then go upload it to Strava separately. And that was it’s new policy at the time; previously, it did support heart rate monitors directly, and I guess they decided “nah, that’s not what we’re here for.” No idea what it does now because switching to a much cheaper app gave me more functionality. I think its shtick was the training feedback. So that tells you what it was trying to be, at least back then–a personal coaching app, not a comprehensive workout tracker.

What, Wired? Looks great to me–one of the most pleasant-looking article sites I like to read, but that’s on Firefox with uBlock Origin and Dark Reader.
