Do any of you have thoughts on a business case for continued use of Firefox for an individual?
Why? My employer is moving to uninstall all instances of Firefox on company computers for ‘security reasons’ in favor of Edge and Chrome. I would be allowed to keep it if I could make a business case for it. There is no legit reason why I can’t get my work done with another browser, but I am going to push hoping just being a squeaky wheel is good enough. My guess is folks on here will have clearer thinking on this than me. Does anyone out there think my IT dept is making a good decision?
Lean in and promote switching all machines to Linux for security reasons ;)
Joking aside… probably little you can do as from an IT department perspective it makes sense to restrict what can be installed on machines managed by them. Your best bet is probably a bring-your-own-device like exception that absolves them from support liability (edit: what I mean: they probably don’t really care about security, especially if this are Windows PCs, but rather want to reduce the support burden on them).
“so you want security?”
takes the Qubes OS installation media out
You’re right. Put my device where my mouth is and start using my personal laptop to get work done. I am not to that point yet, but it is a good back burner idea.
