  • What is paranoia about it?

    They are using a browser fork that isn’t being maintained, so any current vulnerabilities it has will likely not be solved, including the one i know of that is currently being exploited and was fixed in firefox over a year ago.

    I’m not saying that Firefox and other forks of it won’t get vulnerabilities, but as they are maintained, and this goes especially for Firefox which they are forks of, the vulnerabilities will likely be fixed in a timely manner.









  • Yeah, this has become an issue for us at work as well.

    Currently we are doing a POC for an in-house developed solution where a azure function app handles the renewal of certificates for any domain we have, both wildcard and named, and place the certificates in a key vault where services that need them can get access.

    Looks to be working, so the main issue now is finding a non-US certificate provider that supports acme. EU has some but even more local there aren’t many options.




  • Yeah, there is plenty of systems who do the things that Microsoft does.

    But I don’t know anyone who does it all so integrated as Microsoft does.

    Let’s say you start with the basic: you need office apps, email and storage. You have several who sell systems like that, many of them cheaper than Microsoft.

    Then you want security for your email. Iyou can go out and find some supplier for something like that, or you can buy an extra license and get EOP.

    Then you need client protection. You can go out and find a supplier, or you can buy a license and get endpoint protection.

    And since you now have EOP and endpoint protection, you can just buy the security step up from Microsoft, and you get a whole bunch more security solutions, all integrate.

    Oh and you need dataloss prevention and other such compliance solutions, so might as well go for E5, so you get whole compliance package.

    I really wish that someone could give Microsoft proper competition, because they really need it, but as it is right now, there just isn’t any unless you want to do a lot more work than it is to go for Microsoft.
