This appears to go far beyond that though. The policy and maintenance pieces in IE/Edge were one of the biggest reasons for some of the larger companies I've worked with that they had for staying off of other browsers. This looks to fix that.

It'll be interesting to see if this causes some "no open source, even if a support contract can be purchased" policies to get changed.

Chrome never was open source, and never would be.

But it includes open-source elements.

So does IE and always do. (zlib, for example, libpng, and a few others). So?

Wow, this is news to me. If it started in 2010/2011, then why are enterprise still using IE?

Enterprises can't upgrade until all the software they depend on support Chrome. And those services aren't in any particular rush.

Because they don't know how to manage it properly. We've been doing this for several years, alongside the "Legacy Browser Support" extension for those internal systems that are still depending on IE until we decomission them later on. Everything else uses Chrome.

Oh, I never knew about this.
