    Not sure they understand the flow on effects. Those of us being affected and work in the corporate IT space who have a lot of say in what browsers are used will simply replace chrome with Firefox on our thousands of machines nationwide without a second thought. They are digging their own grave.

      It’s a little more complex then that.

      First we need to draft a project to keep the PMs happy. Then test the change…

      Then get it through change management…

      Or just have our friends in secops make it a security call and a priority. Not saying I’ve done this before - no sir.

        Don’t forget the six months of complaining and loss of service desk productivity because people still can’t figure out how to import their bookmarks.

          You can script that i believe. We had multiple fuckup in our company due to poorly missmanaged browser migration.

          Im in a top500 and they swapped browser to like 30% of the population without informing local IT as a test. Many people lost bookmarks I always run a firefox in parallel (against company policy but they are too bad to find out)

      Their masterplan is possibly to deactivate certain websites for anything but chrome.

      Sadly, their user base is really every idiot with a cell phone or MacBook and not those of us who do as you suggest.
