It's obvious you never worked for a large bureaucratic company having to support many intranet legacy web apps. Of course you can run another browser for the other stuff. This is about the financial costs of software resulting in "corporate standards" including some ancient browser.
This is not at all unusual. And it's hardly a thing to flame the messenger on. It's just a reality some people deal with.
- mikeash 11y agoI covered that above: "Maybe corporate policy prohibited it, but that means it's basically a choice to keep using old and broken stuff." I acknowledge and understand that some web sites require ancient browsers and some companies have policies prohibiting alternatives. I just don't see that being at all related to poor people using old computers, because poor people do it out of necessity, while corporate policies are a choice. I'm not flaming the messenger because of these policies, I'm just getting a bit annoyed that people keep telling me irrelevant things and criticizing me for things I'm not saying.
