Is Chrome the New IE? (2023)

One issue I keep see cropping up with various corporate websites is they will only allow Chrome and will block any other browser. I would say in 9/10 cases, this isn't because the site uses features not supported in other browsers but rather, developers restrict it to Chrome because that's all their QA's test on.

Which is ironic because scores of enterprise companies developed internal systems/reporting/intranets using .NET in the early 2000s, restricting their users to Internet Explorer!

It's clear that Net Neutrality and web standards are close to a myth. Security-wise, I trust Google over Mozilla though.

Absolutely. I'm still not sure what annoys me more: Sites that break on non-Chrome, or sites that won't even let me try behind a cookie agent blocker.

That's a different layer of the stack. I could get behind "web neutrality" as an initiative, though!

And still have to maintain windows 7 or earlier machines running IE 7 to run internal applications
