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 lockdown user addons in both chrome and firefox via GPO. You can also auto install them with the same policies if you like. Both browsers have enterpise admx files available.

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

If they use Windows, you can use Firefox Portable of PortableApps.

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.

Switch to Edge would make sense due to how well it integrates with things like your Entra ID account, choosing Chrome now is bizarre. We also had Chrome as primary browser for years, but now we are pushing Edge as primary browser. Firefox was and still is an option for us as well.
