    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)

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