Ditto. The security department made the push because too many people were installing unapproved addons like ublock. They are mandating chrome, "for security". LMAO
The irony is that people are signing into chrome with personal gmail and leaking stuff.
You can lockdown user addons in both chrome and firefox via GPO. You can also auto install them with the same policies if you like. Both browsers have enterpise admx files available.
Your security department sounds like they are bad at their jobs.
Came here to say the exact same thing. It really is amazing to me just how many IT professionals are bad at their jobs.
Tech is a boogie man to many executypes. I've seen plenty of IT pros that were in over their head but smooth enough con men. If they keep coming up with things to throw money at/trim money out of convincingly they have long and successful careers.
