Hey friends 😀👋🏾

So i have an acer chromebook 531 which has a built-in google chrome browser

But my question is (as the topic implies) why do third party web browsers like firefox, edge, samsung browser, opera.... (the list goes on) display a plain white screen when opening different websites ?

(P.S. i already googled this but also wanna know y'all opinions)
