Honestly this seems like a waste.

If there was some free community edition of this I'd deploy it at our org. But I can promise you that I couldn't get $1 approved for buying a browser, not when there's plenty of free options.

The other thing- contact us for demo- I mean this with all respect but FUCK OFF WITH THAT SHIT. That's what companies do so they don't have to list their million-dollar price tag, and/or want to size up how much they can rip you off for before quoting you. You want people to buy this, make it transparent.

You should deploy standard Firefox and use group policies to lock it down.

If you need the kind of things that it’s providing and you need the audit trails for them. Then it’s for sure worth the money. I know a few orgs that would gladly pay for this and I’m passing it along to them.

Why would they pay for Firefox when they likely get that for free with chrome or edge already?

[–] valkyre09@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Wouldn’t Edge be best placed for corporations with intune etc?

Y'all forgot to read the article. They are targeting the EU since there is a greater push for tech sovereignty.

Yep, sit through 30+ mins of a sales pitch presentation when I could use that time to set it up and trial it myself.
