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. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Rooster326@programming.dev 1 point 7 months ago 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. permalink fedilink source parent [–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 2 points 7 months ago The company I work for makes us.
