I’ve seen Chrome in so many corporate environments and never understood why. Native browsers work fine and are crafted to work reliably in the environment they’re used in. My guess is some admins simply like Chrome and thus decided everyone should. I like Firefox but I keep it at home, at work I use Microsoft Edge.

An unfortunate number of services now ask people to use them only via Chrome. In my environment, I tell them to get over themselves, and we use Firefox. But a lot of services specifically state an expectation of using Chrome. It really is the new IE6.

People are using Chrome at home and demanding it at work is ome reason, many developers exclusively testing on Chrome the other.

Perhaps easier to manage Chrome than managing a different browser for each operating system?

[BuckRogers]

Not really, that would be an excuse if someone said that to you. Most enterprises use Windows Server and manage this through Group Policy, which supports all browsers for all operating systems. If you're not using Windows Server it can be more difficult.

My work uses Microsoft Edge and it’s just not very good. Not as many sites work on Edge as Chrome.

I hope this changes when Edge goes to Chromiun but from a UX perspective, too much stuff doesn’t work on Edge.

I haven't seen this, but assuming it's true, people used to want Microsoft to follow standards, so they created the most standards-compliant browser on the market and then reject it. The answer is to reject de facto standards like IE6 and Chrome.
