There's some bullshit software on my work machine that is supposed to make it so that we don't need local admin. As if that has ever worked in the past.

Upshot is that Firefox would upgrade, but forget my profile every time. That took months to sort out. Chrome simply won't update at all. Neither will Jetbrains tools, Docker desktop, you name it.

You can try to make everyone upgrade to the latest browser all you want, you're still going to have people running old versions. If you're running a free website, you are at your liberty to ignore those people. But somewhere between 5 and 7 figures a year there's a cutoff where you're going to do backward compatibility because the customer says so.

Not just this, but mozilla also supports ESR versions, where you basically get all the security patches but your browser can be almost 10 versions behind the newest release, so even with regular updates, with ESR, you'll be behind on newest features.

I run a free website, and I consider it my duty to support whatever device the visitor happens to be using. Just like if I had a restaurant or a library, I would build ramps for the less than 1% who need them.

Sounds like your company takes security very seriously.
