With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.

There can be other reasons, and while it saddens me to say, we were forced to keep IE for specific web-panels, which hadn't been updated since the 90s.

Edge does, after all, allow for compability with such sites, which is a good thing.

Please note that this is work work-related machines only. I dont see how it's an issue when it has to do with your work account. You shouldn't be using this for other things than work.

Edge nowadays is just a wrapper for Chromium. So it will only handle whatever Chrome handles.

Not true on Windows. They have an IE mode specifically for enterprise apps.
