    Intune can manage Firefox add-ons btw, no need to use any extra systems.

      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.

        It’s no different than controlling add-ons via GPO like we did in the old days of on-prem. No extra cost associated.

  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.
