It really sucks for non-developers. I can easily afford to walk out the door laughing when a place I’m interviewing for tells me I’d have to use Windows, but clearly that’s not a privilege all professions have
My company laptop had both Edge and Chrome installed the first time I started it. Edge is the default and the one with an icon on the taskbar. I’m convinced that most people, at least outside engineering, will use Edge as their main browser.
Luckily for me I have the “Local admin” access so the first thing I do is to download Firefox and set it up as my default browser. On the time reporting site I get warnings that my browser is not Chrome, but it still works without any problems.
The company I work for makes us. We have chrome but they’re constantly threatening to remove it and if you have a technical issue with something web based and you’re not using edge IT won’t help you.
its on people if they are still using EDGE.
It is sadly becoming the standard in business settings. If your IT department is setting Edge as standard, there is not a lot that you can do

My place of work didn’t block Chrome or Firefox but they are making it difficult to use.
They literally just wiped the Saved Passwords and Bookmarks off our PCs because…???
Didn’t touch Edge, the “supported” browser.
Meh, Edge is no worse than Chrome at this point (because it’s chromium now)… Which is still mediocre, but it’s not horrible
How is it not twice as bad?
You get all the telemetry of Google and then Microsoft shenanigans.

Why? Some people like living on the edge.
