No. You can use any browser if you want to use a browser for accessing your gmail account.

Or, you can use any email client such as Apple Mail to access your gmail account.

If using Apple Mail: https://support.apple.com/guide/mail/add-email-accounts-mail35803/mac

for accessing gmail via their website (aka: webmail) , a user can use any web-browser software which has standard features & support.

you may use "Thunderbird" email-client to access gmail or any other email-service , Thunderbird is like apple "Mail" email client software , but made by opensource devs, etc, its also cost-free, & free.

and Chromium is slightly better than Chrome , as Chromium has much less proprietary components (closed-source & unknown stuff) & software.

( if you need proprietary features from google, then use Chrome ).

and, you can also use "Firefox" web-browser, made by Mozilla , it is another opensource, & free, and cost-free software.
