I find it weird that I had to use Chrome to update the firmware of my device. And it was even weirder that the process went through smoothly.

Maybe this is better than downloading a one-off utility from a manufacturer's slow FTP and selecting a firmware file in its file picker and hoping that the combination of flashing utility version + firmware image + my hardware + my OS + the current stellar constellation aligns, and I will still have a working device after this ceremony.
