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.
Tech is a boogie man to many executypes. I’ve seen plenty of IT pros that were in over their head but smooth enough con men. If they keep coming up with things to throw money at/trim money out of convincingly they have long and successful careers.
When I lost my job over the summer I put my resume on dice and immediately had 3-4 guys with Indian accents calling me every day. I found a new job within a week. I still get emails and texts though, can’t put the genie back in the bottle

First time in corporate?
Nah. I work in the field.
Im well aware of bad security teams. Looks like they got one.
Came here to say the exact same thing. It really is amazing to me just how many IT professionals are bad at their jobs.

I don’t think it’s worse than any other office job.
Meanwhile, I’m over here unable to find an IT job :')

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.
