I read the article and it says that it is using Webkit and not using any proxy.

One thing that I am finding with Edge is that often when I am trying to type something into the address bar and hesitate before finishing it freaks out and the address bar disappears so that I have to grab the mouse, open it again and start typing over again. Their desire to have that weird, jumping around address bar is a major negative. It is confusing and it makes it slow.

Windows here, so far so good...

Of the two, I feel like FF works better for the NodeBB sites, at least for ML.

Most of those things, like Java for an HP ILO, can be isolated to networks that are not on the Internet or are highly protected. They don't need to be on general use machines.

Will try that as well, but just checked the same download again from home Windows 2012, both browsers, and still looks better on FF!

The shear fact that they use a non default user shows that they probably have an above average ability to use their computer, which could be helpful in their job.

It's been a while since I've seen a company that had IE set as a default.

Same. Chrome is so easy to deploy with Group Policy and has just as much control as IE if not more. Now firefox doesn't (or didn't) pull it's proxy settings from the system so that can be an issue with some content filters.

As much as I hate Chrome it is supported by our EHR vendor where FF is not... might be time to look into using it.
Though we'll still have to keep IE around for the hospitals.

You hate chrome? Its so much faster than firefox. They have both Administrative Template files (Group Policy) and Enterprise MSI installers to deploy. https://support.google.com/installer/answer/146164?hl=en

Yep I do... I just seem to have little problems with it... Plus I like the plugs better on FF.

Firefox has had a nightly build of 64bit for a few years, I've used it quite a bit, it was late 2011 or early 2012 they started doing that.

The lack of need for Firefox to be on both sides definitely makes this interesting.

Thanks for the heads up.

The immediately important bit (until a resolution) from the article:
Disabling WebRTC can be done by installing the WebRTC Block extension for Chrome, while in Firefox the “media.peerconnection.enabled” needs to be set to “false” on the advanced configuration page (about:config).

This comes after the government site healthcare.gov has been caught sending private information to advertisers via headers.

that's a nice french word, maybe that's why.

It's a French origin, but so is resume. It's a word in English for a very long time.

all true but maybe they have a cutoff somewhere before it is recognized. I am just guessing though.

I am a little late to the party, but I personally love Chrome. I like the look and feel of it as well as the plugins. Internet Explorer 11 is a close second for me. No plugins to really speak of, but it feels faster and lighter than chrome especially with Mangolassi and ReelFishingTalk. I believe the nodebb doesn't like chrome too much

I didn't realize that Chrome could do that. I need to get a Chromecast, obviously.

LOL - streaming from Chrome kinda went without saying.. snicker I find it funny Scott didn't know that, I'm not sure why it's hitting me so hard... 🙂
