I'm curious about what web browsers different organizations are using these days. We're currently evaluating our options and would like to hear what everyone else is using and why. Do you stick with one main browser, or do you offer multiple options?

We actually offer a mix of Chrome, Firefox, and Edge. There are even a few Macs around with Safari. Most people seem to prefer Chrome just because they already know how to use it, but we try to encourage Edge because it integrates better with our setup. It's all about managing user preferences while keeping compliance in check.
Exactly, the learning curve can be tough, but Edge is becoming more popular as people get used to it.
In our organization, Edge is the standard browser since we're primarily an MS shop. We removed Chrome entirely last year except for some specific roles that needed it for external work. To be honest, everyone found Edge to work just fine after switching. It syncs well with OneDrive, making device replacements much easier. Doesn't hurt that it feels like a solid option for Windows users. We had minimal complaints once the transition was done!
We had a similar experience! It took a bit of convincing, but after we removed Chrome, most users adjusted quickly. It’s good to have everything streamlined.
For us, using Edge made sense with all the MS tools we rely on. Plus, it’s nice to avoid the hassle of managing multiple browsers.
We've stuck with Firefox ESR for years and still install it alongside Edge for compatibility. Even though we've had all these newer options, we find that Firefox still does well for our internal needs, especially in some legacy systems we support.
I get that! It's like if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Sometimes the old reliable options are just what you need.
Exactly! There are some things Firefox handles better, and changing things up can often lead to more issues.
Last year, we decided to make Edge the default browser for everyone while still allowing Chrome for those who really need it for specific tasks. I've found that most staff are good with Edge once they get used to it. Migration is mostly a breeze, but I do keep Chrome installed just in case!
I like that strategy! Dual-browser systems can help ease the transition for users.
Absolutely! It’s useful to have the flexibility while still pushing for a primary browser.
Officially, we support Edge, Chrome, and Firefox. However, we’ve been pushing Edge as the primary choice due to better integration with our systems. Users appreciate it, especially when they need access to internal sites. I've seen some strong pushback against Chrome in favor of Edge due to security and compatibility issues.
That makes sense! With all the recent concerns about browser security, it’s good to have a controlled environment.
Totally agree! Edge does have better features for managing profiles and data securely.
I hear you! We have multiple options too, but I think it mostly comes down to which one people are familiar with.
