Try Chromium?
Decide the site is too much hassle and back away?
Not always practical options, but they are options.

Why do you think that Chromium will have the Google services that websites and users depend on?
There is a huge difference between the “best viewed in Chrome” I was replying to there, and “simply won't work without Google services” that you are now asking about.
My personal answer to the goalposts in this new position: If a site refuses to work without a Google account, or if Google Ads are blocked, or without some other Google service, they are simply making it clear that I am not the target audience for their broken creation and I should mosey on elsewhere. Much like sites that refuse to work because my stalker blocking measures at home block their adverts (accidentally or, more likely, because those ads are from source that is trying to stalk me across the Internet).
As I said above: this attitude might not be practical for all, or for some all of the time. But it hasn't done me any harm thus far.
