Is Google Chrome crippled beyond belief at every bank?

At my bank Chrome can't save passwords, can't keep a history, can't use incognito, and can't set home pages. Yet IE allows has most of those above features like password saving and history tracking. The official explanation is due to some ridiculously broad set of "security concerns and risks" and I just personally find it really annoying that we're left with a bastardized version of Chrome. Just shows how shit IE is at least since I still don't want to use it over Chrome.

Do all of you guys have ridiculously stripped down versions of Chrome?

BTW we don't get Firefox on our comps.

Lol well what would incognito be useful for other than doing something non-work related? I do agree that that's annoying though. Brings back memories of trying to sneak past firewalls to get on game websites in middle school.

For stuff like not having to log out of linkedin when looking up people's profiles, when you've used all your skips on Pandora, bypassing "read x# articles per day" things on certain sites, etc.
 

Yeah - I'm at a BB and chrome has no flash installed, can't connect to all local intranet sites, and apparently is not getting any plugins installed like IE is. AndyLouis, your firm won't pick up logging into your gmail account if you use incognito mode? That's hilarious I need to try that tomorrow

Sil: I love how all of these programs (I'm looking at you, CapIQ) charge banks thousands of dollars for their software and then force us to use IE from the 90s.


CapIQ? Never had a problem with that. Thomson I need to use IE though if I don't use the desktop client.

You can use Chrome for CapIQ, but Chrome is ending Silverlight support soon.
