There are portable version of Firefox if you want to use it. I think there is no security argument to be had aside that IT may only want to support one browser.

There are portable version of Firefox if you want to use it. I think there is no security argument to be had aside that IT may only want to support one browser. Advantage is that the deployment on Windows machines is pretty seamless. Other advantages are probably mainly MS selling questionable security features through their licensing model. I predict that Edge will integrate a lot of contested MS features and in the end will be a horrible browser again. Even know it is bloating up to something else. I would check the allowed browsers for spy- and bossware though.

> There are portable version of Firefox if you want to use it. Using that when you know the company has told you about their security policy forbidding it is, ummm, not wise. Especially not as a new hire. If work says "You use Edge, and are not allowed to use Firefox", then you use Edge, or you ask for an exemption from that policy if you have a good reason (and I'd want that in writing if it's an official security policy). Or you get a different job at a company without that policy.

  well I don't like to switch from company I just started at just because I don't like one thing, as of right now I am keeping my FF Developer installation as it is part of my workflow and I don't find anything else as good (just my personal opinion of course, other people may prefer other browsers)
