I found the following article to be a fascinating read from one of the lead developers of Internet Explorer. His advice...
I beg you… please let Internet Explorer retire to the great bitbucket in the sky. It’s time. It’s been time for a long time.
Are you or your users still using Internet Explorer today as their daily driver? If so, let us know why below.
I still use IE for the applications that don't work with Chrome. Such as Cisco ACS.
I use IE for remote access to some clients because other browsers refuse to load the plugin. I typically tried Chrome then Firefox and then IE as a last resort, although I'm using Firefox a lot more lately.
For older onprem Sharepoint solutions/plugins my users still need it
Oh yes! we do not have re resource to do all the testing to change
On unrelated, related topics.....
I'm pretty sure the evil data collection nature of Google, and of course, Chrome is not wise for corporations that value security should use.
Looking at how it creates scheduled tasks in Windows on corporate machines with unchecked impunity and no explanation of what its REALLY doing (beyond "updating"), and their Hoover like data collection, does this make Firefox the most secure option?
Call me a tin foil hat guy, but I do not trust Google after all these years, and I am certain to think that they take corporate usage, URLs, passwords and other data from Intranet based usage for perhaps not nefarious purposes, but indeed they are hoovering every thing your corporate Chrome browser is doing.
We all trusted Apple until the Siri Ireland bust that got very little coverage.
Microsoft was yesterday just caught with an open database with 250 million records online. Not much coverage on that really.
Amazon sent Alexa conversations randomly to to random email addresses.
Its the wild wild west out there, no one takes all of this serious enough. The EU has tried with new laws. The US is so far behind.
Yes, I wear a tin foil hat because I sort of have a valid point that there are nefarious things happening behind the scenes with our desktops, phones, watches, browsers, apps etc etc.
Even Jeff Bezos had his phone hacked by MBS, LOL!
Prove me wrong and I'll take off the hat today. But I just feel the big 5 (MS, FB, AMZN, GOOG, AAPL) are not respecting our privacy enough, if at all.
What is your opinion on Chrome? It seems as though its the perfect avenue for Google to continue its nefarious collection of our data, just as Facebook admits to evil in the Messenger TOS you "read" when you install the app. They admit that they're going to look at all the communications on your phone UP FRONT.
Man my tin foil hat is really buzzing today, but I feel our right to privacy has been in the gutter for too long now at the hands of these gigantic entities.
I probably should have created this as a poll. As such, I've done so here >
