I tried to install Firefox in my corporate laptop and the ~~anti~~virus marked it as malware ;_;
The corporation is apparently ok with Microsoft spying on us all.
My university forced us to switch from Google Workspace to Microsoft 365 and from BigBlueButton to Teams for online classes probably because Microsoft offered them an irresistible deal. It was a really annoying and user-hostile process for everyone.
It is corporate laptop. It is very infuriating to know users try to mess up company's policy for no reason.
If you want privacy, use your own damn laptop.
How is attempting to install a different browser and then accepting but being annoyed that it won't let you "attempting to mess up company policy" lol, being allowed to install different browsers on your work laptop isn't exactly unheard of.
If they previously told him that everyone has to use edge, sure, but that doesn't seem likely.
Not everyone uses FF for privacy. It's also just a great browser.
I'm ok with that. But company policy should not be Ms Edge.
