It is sadly becoming the standard in business settings. If your IT department is setting Edge as standard, there is not a lot that you can do
My company laptop had both Edge and Chrome installed the first time I started it. Edge is the default and the one with an icon on the taskbar. I'm convinced that most people, at least outside engineering, will use Edge as their main browser.
Luckily for me I have the "Local admin" access so the first thing I do is to download Firefox and set it up as my default browser. On the time reporting site I get warnings that my browser is not Chrome, but it still works without any problems.
My place of work didn't block Chrome or Firefox but they are making it difficult to use.
They literally just wiped the Saved Passwords and Bookmarks off our PCs because...???
Didn't touch Edge, the "supported" browser.
