I've had nearly a dozen users contact me this morning telling me that Lastpass was missing from Chrome this morning.
The latest version of Chrome is 78.0.3904.97 and was released Nov 6, 2019, so I'm pretty sure it wasn't an update that took it out.
Anyone else see this? Never any issues.
Is why I use "Edgeium"
I like Chredge better 😛
I wouldn't expect things to ultimately be different between Edge (chromium based) and G-Chrome because the base is the same. MS can't afford to deviate that much from the base, otherwise they end up with issues.
Haha, Chredge wins!
Well, it's different enough that all mine keep working consistently. We don't know what they are changing, or at least I don't. We could assume as such, but look at how different all the Linux distros are even though they share the same base (kernel).
yeah - who knows. Plus MS is always going to be lagging behind Chrome in releases, so what issue might hit Chrome, might not hit Chredge for a week or two.
Chrome != Chromium either
Chrome is based on Chromium.
Credge is based on Chromium.

Just read that 💫 and configure what policies you need. Took me a day to set up but works smooth.
Circling back to GPP. Thanks to @FiyaFly , who was able to help me out with the syntax for the fields. Do not use quotes in the target or start in paths.
Target Path:
The engine may end up being an "Enterprise Mode" like IE I think?
Edge as a browser works well but with a few show stoppers that killed any further usage for us:
1: Downloads mysteriously won't start or just plain stop for no reason.
2: Edge ate my favourites way too many times.
The containerized Edge, Application Guard I think(?), is a great idea. If Edge was as good as they had hoped it would provide a fantastic sandbox experience to protect users from drive-by attacks and bad GET commands from e-mail clients.
At least we are not getting stuck with the legacy ActiveX that keeps rearing its head every once in a while because of IE. 😛
I shared this with my team. I think this may be a Windows killer, but everyone else is skeptical. What do you guys think?
The Windows killer is "customers with a clue" and "the capability to move to modern software". Put those together, nearly everyone can drop Windows. Not everyone, but most everyone.
@Dashrender Actually, the problem was found earlier than that. This blog post is from last Thursday.
OK looks like the actual incident took place on Feb 17, definitely not the understanding I got from listening to Security Now. They keep saying "Last Friday" as in Feb 24.
Thanks for the correction Dan.
So it looks like it was fixed for a short while after the incident.
