If customers using google incurs a tax upon business regardless of whether the business does business voluntarily with google why not work on changing that.
Start with a snazzy our service works better in firefox. Eventually offer trivial new features in firefox but not chrome terminating with a small discount for using firefox. Over time small price increases can render the discounted price the same as the current price and effectively you are charging your users for using a vendor which costs you to do business with.
Google views chrome as a moat around their business keeping other vendors from cutting them off from the revenue stream that powers their entire business. Attack the moat and you might see movement to make your life easier.
