Chrome is a disallowed program on our network by "Symantec Endpoint Protection". You can install Firefox but it's discouraged by the IT department. I wouldn't doubt if these setups are common among larger corporations.
- jacquesm 16y agoIf that's this issue: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=38 http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=38 Then it appears to be resolved for some time now.
