## And against it

- "Browsers like Brave, DuckDuckGo, Firefox, Tor, and Opera were designed primarily for individual privacy, not organizational security" (MiniMax M2.5, Enterprise browsers)
- "Brave, Firefox, Tor - Optimized for consumer privacy (tracker blocking, anti-fingerprinting), not enterprise security needs" (Qwen 3.7 Flash, Enterprise browsers)
- "standard consumer browsers like Safari, Firefox, or unmanaged Chrome ... Why you should avoid them" (Gemini 3.5 Flash, Enterprise browsers)
- "It lacks the built-in cloud management console of Chrome/Edge and requires more manual configuration, which is why it is less frequently recommended" (Muse Glimmer 30B, Enterprise browsers)
