There is if (chrome) {} else {openDialog()} which controls this popup.

https://docs.google.com/static/document/client/js/3683200486-client_js_prod_kix_tertiary.js
Line 186518 (pretty printed)

        function () {
          np.CHROME ? (e.Ma.setValue(!0), e.D.va(OFa).xb()) : e.fb.openDialog(NUp, {
          })
        }

Pausing in this function and faking chrome by evaluating Object.defineProperty(np, "CHROME", {value: true}) in the console would still hit another popup (which I think is already covered in webcompat?).

That second popup is shown because of that other check:
https://docs.google.com/static/document/client/js/1621481524-client_js_prod_kix_app.js
Line 20331 (pretty printed)

function iXg(a) {
  if (a.H) a = !1;
   else {
    a: {
      if (!a.F.Ga('docs-erpep')) {
        var c = a.F.Ga('docs-ececs') &&  // Ga methods checks if an attribute exists on `window._docs_flag_initialData`, here window._docs_flag_initialData["docs-ececs"] is false on Firefox and c = false
        mhb(),
        d = Ko(Kia) >= 13;  // Kia == "safari" and d = false
        if (!c && !d) {
          a = !1; /// We return false here and show the popup based on this boolean
          break a
        }
      }
      a = a.D.ld().queryCommandSupported(Pha)
    }
    a = !!(a || np.n0 || np.CHROME && np.bv(52) && Jwc(Nve, !1))
  }
  return a
}
