      Which is why it boggles my mind that every company I have worked for uses it as the stock alternative to Edge over Firefox.

        The reason is (what I was told) because they don’t have as fine-grained control of Firefox as they have with Chrome on Windows.

          Correct. Chrome and edge have many many group policy options to mass control fleets of machines. Easily discoverable and configurable. I’m not sure if it is still this way, but Firefox GPO was always janky, and you always ended up needing to resort to a local file for policy stuff that was a pain to manage.

            Sys admins are already worked to death, so anything that can be done to simplify makes perfect sense.

      Didn’t it turn out that Chrome was reporting every site it visited back to Google? Apparently it was a “bug” that was only meant to happen on Instagram and not everywhere but… It doesn’t take a huge leap of thinking to suspect how incredibly convenient it is for Google’s telemetry.
