Poll: Enforce Default Browser

gjacobse

I've not seen this in the past - but it just came across my Work Teams chat that while setting SSO it was discovered that a Default browser wasn't set ("does not enforce a default browser for end users, which is a bit unusual....").

So -

Is this done?

Nope. We let them pick from 3.
The chosen 3 are GPO controlled.

Which three? Just to make certain -

Found it best to not enforce a browser, but ensure the major ones are up to date, or force updates on existing installs to patch security vulnerabilities.

It's very environment specific. You will have to look at what is installed and used in the environment to determine what you may or may not enforce or update.

I agree with this. What I did a couple of jobs ago, was not enforce a browser, but only supported one (IE at the time) for our line of business application. Users could use Chrome or Firefox, but if stuff with "the site" broke, step 1 of troubleshooting use IE, and future problems were troubleshot from there.
