As part of our company’s security policy, our IT admin disallows firefox to be installed in dev machine.

our engineers cannot test their work in firefox.

LOL

This nonsense is part of why I prefer to work for smaller companies.

That’s wack.

I think our company does something similar (Chrome by default, need to ask IT for anything else), but our department just said, “we need Macs to do our work, you have no power here…” I hate macOS, but I hate stupid IT policies more.

there’s no quality control with a test suite of browsers and versions running in virtual machines?

Due to security policy, we cannot run vm. Oh, btw, we do android development too. I guess they didn’t know android studio runs a vm. So that is ok

Whenever I face an issue in our company portal and I ask the IT team, their response is “Can you please try on Google Chrome?”
