Chrome got blacklisted by our IT dept because of this.

Meanwhile my work mandates that we must use Edge. It's fine from a usability perspective but I would much prefer my beloved Firefox at work, especially with the tab groups they have where you can have multiple different sessions

I've been using Edge at work. I literally made the decision as "this is a Microsoft heavy shop, Microsoft is pushing Edge hard, and Bing is kinda good now, so let's see how this goes" and I haven't had a need to switch back.

I use Edge's different profiles for testing, work stuff and personal stuff to keep them nicely separated and prevent any from bleeding too hard into eachother
