I’ve seen Chrome in so many corporate environments and never understood why. Native browsers work fine and are crafted to work reliably in the environment they’re used in. My guess is some admins simply like Chrome and thus decided everyone should. I like Firefox but I keep it at home, at work I use Microsoft Edge.
- IggleSniggle 7y agoPerhaps easier to manage Chrome than managing a different browser for each operating system?
- BuckRogers 7y agoNot really, that would be an excuse if someone said that to you. Most enterprises use Windows Server and manage this through Group Policy, which supports all browsers for all operating systems. If you're not using Windows Server it can be more difficult.
- mschuster91 7y agoPeople are using Chrome at home and demanding it at work is ome reason, many developers exclusively testing on Chrome the other.
- ocdtrekkie 7y agoAn unfortunate number of services now ask people to use them only via Chrome. In my environment, I tell them to get over themselves, and we use Firefox. But a lot of services specifically state an expectation of using Chrome. It really is the new IE6.
- prepend 7y agoMy work uses Microsoft Edge and it’s just not very good. Not as many sites work on Edge as Chrome. I hope this changes when Edge goes to Chromiun but from a UX perspective, too much stuff doesn’t work on Edge.
- BuckRogers 7y agoI haven't seen this, but assuming it's true, people used to want Microsoft to follow standards, so they created the most standards-compliant browser on the market and then reject it. The answer is to reject de facto standards like IE6 and Chrome.
- datavirtue 7y agoLargest Corp in America here. Looking at three modern browsers on my machine right now. I think IE is even tucked away somewhere so I have four at my fingertips. Zero trust or love for Chrome.
