I work in research and development, I have to constantly search the web for stuff

My work insists on using it too. Fuck knows why, maybe it’s a security thing? And my personal laptop is constantly nagging me to use edge - it could be the best browser ever and I would still avoid it just because of the pushiness.

It’s a good Chromium based OS native browser that has integration with your Entra ID account so all your bookmarks / history is automatically synced and users have seamless experience when switching devices. No longer seeing tickets like ″My bookmarks are gone after I reinstalled my PC″ is enough to consider Edge as your company main browser. And the fact that it is part of OS, you do not need to worry about install and patching.
I prefer Firefox, but from Chromium browsers Edge is really good, you cannot expect companies to suggest something like Vivaldi.

Yeah, that’s fair, I thought it would probably be something like that. TBF it’s work, they’re paying me, I’ll use whatever they choose. I won’t have it on my own computer though just because of Microsoft’s hard sell
Petter1@lemm.ee 2 months ago
Exactly that

The new manifest v3 version is actually not that bad, though not nearly as good as normal ublock.

Tell IT and your boss how your productivity tanked since edge disabled uBlock.

Click on all the ads and install all the malware. That will teach them.

Intune can manage Firefox add-ons btw, no need to use any extra systems.
Petter1@lemm.ee 2 months ago
Of course, but extra work is required for third party browsers vs just using windows built in browser designed to be managed using entraID / intune.
Companies don’t like to pay extra.

So, unironically, I do plan to request Firefox with uBlock as a reasonable accomodation for my ADHD if I’m not able to use it at a job on the future. Banner ads are genuinely distracting and I have a real disability that makes them worse for me.

This might actually reverse firefox’s decline in userbase at least in the business world. Any shop that already has multi-OS management could probably insta-switch to firefox, and i’m sure that MS locked-in places could too given enough of a push by IT.
