For flash I think you're describing Ruffle
No, Ruffle is an alternative interpreter. I mean an alternative, FOSS, technology.

brave is built on chromium and it also has crypto stuff, so people here hate it
You can easily hide crypto stuff (which I do) and Chromium is great, just not Google Chrome, but the actual Chromium.

the problem with chromium is that because 98% of people use it, google gets to decide how the internet works basically

It's a good Chromium based Windows native browser that has integration with your Entra ID account so all your bookmarks / history is automatically synced and users have seamless experience when switching devices. No longer seeing tickets like ″My bookmarks are gone after I reinstalled my PC″ is enough to consider Edge as your company main browser. And the fact that it is part of OS, you do not need to worry about install and patching.
I prefer Firefox, but from Chromium browsers Edge is really good, you cannot expect companies to suggest something like Vivaldi.
Exactly that

Intune can manage Firefox add-ons btw, no need to use any extra systems.
Of course, but extra work is required for third party browsers vs just using windows built in browser designed to be managed using entraID / intune.
Companies don’t like to pay extra.

It's no different than controlling add-ons via GPO like we did in the old days of on-prem. No extra cost associated.

Your outsourced IT provider charges for simple configuration changes? That's a yikes from me. I worked in MSPs for years and those sort of changes were always covered in the standard contract.

I get that, but alternatives suck. Firefox doesn't even support all of the extensions I need.

You got me there ðŸ¤I don’t see in exact contract with the provider, I only worked with them on some projects (like enterprise wifi via TLS)
But the one in charge of decision making depending IT is fan of the MS ecosystem.
Personally I work with friends to offer workplace in the cloud in the future, like having a complete OS within a browser tab. -
I use Firefox for most things, but Google Meet maxes out all my CPUs if I use Firefox. Any kind of screen sharing kills it. Suggestions on how I can get video encoding working greatly appreciated... Intel Xe graphics.
