  Chrome hasn’t worked for months on our network due to this and was removed recently with the latest updates last week

  And mine is making the switch from Firefox to Chrome next year. I’m so fucking mad about it.

    Ditto. The security department made the push because too many people were installing unapproved addons like ublock. They are mandating chrome, “for security”. LMAO

    The irony is that people are signing into chrome with personal gmail and leaking stuff.

      You can lock down addon in both chrome and firefox via GPO, including auto installing them.

      Your security department sounds like they are bad at their jobs.

        Came here to say the exact same thing. It really is amazing to me just how many IT professionals are bad at their jobs.

      uBlock is pretty much approved by Mozilla and ads are a big attack vector while Chrome is spyware.

      Not sure, it’s a big corpo so the decision is far from me. Probably bribes or a C level exec that likes Chrome on his home laptop.

  Waiting to hear if my company follows suit. Most of our internal tools are built with Chrome in mind, so it would be a big effort to standardize on something else.

    Chrome is pretty much the defacto standard for web. If it works with chrome, you’re probably safe.

  Meanwhile my work mandates that we must use Edge. It’s fine from a usability perspective but I would much prefer my beloved Firefox at work, especially with the tab groups they have where you can have multiple different sessions

    I’ve been using Edge at work. I literally made the decision as “this is a Microsoft heavy shop, Microsoft is pushing Edge hard, and Bing is kinda good now, so let’s see how this goes” and I haven’t had a need to switch back.

    I use Edge’s different profiles for testing, work stuff and personal stuff to keep them nicely separated and prevent any from bleeding too hard into eachother
