  It already is on mine, no trace of chromium or it’s forks.

  Until you do more than warn they don’t care.

  Unfortunately for work I may have no choice:-(. Several of our daily work products I’ve tried on Firefox without success. Those also don’t have ads.

  I wish there were better alternatives. I may try out LibreWolf but I could not imagine it somehow being easier, though with enough effort put in the end result may be all that matters. Until the first update (possibly forced on the server end even if I don’t on mine) that breaks everything and I cannot do my work for the day, in which case I will absolutely go crawling back to Chrome, bc they have us by the short hairs there.:-(

    My company just plain old won’t install Firefox without a good reason.

    I’m stuck using chrome or edge. Once the ad block stops working on chrome, I move over.

      If you have other potential employers in mind, the IT environment at your current employer and other potential employers is maybe one factor to keep in mind in making decisions as to where to work.

      There are some IT policies that are no-gos for me at potential employers, and I ask during the interview process.

      On my work computer I don’t have admin rights but still I could install Firefox with no problems. It installed itself for local user only.

      Yeesh… I would reconsider working there if possible, but being able to (checks notes) pay rent and afford food and medical care may just make up for it.:-| Hopefully you don’t need to surf the web much at work.

    I went through the same thing with MSIE. Corporate mandates and stuff. Businesses are sometimes wrong.
