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