I agree with the other posters, but I'm wondering if this is being done to assist with "distance learning". For example, the school that my daughter attends is using Google Classroom, which requires Chrome (especially for extensions like Nod, Kami, etc). So far, she has only been able to actually use the extensions on a laptop, even though my daughter prefers using her IPad. Just a thought...

How? Is there any security issues on the Macs when doing this? No. There isn’t.

Why? If you prefer using Outlook does that mean you need to be using Windows specifically? Or if you shop on Amazon a lot does that mean you need to be using their Fire tablets?

This makes sense for Apple. I used to have the latest iPad, mac, iPhone, apple watch, apple tv & wireless router. I used to read mac rumors and related sites every day, and manage all the family members' accounts and devices. Was an Apple enthusiast and advocate from 2006 - 2018, first in line for an iPhone one year, you get the point. I've been migrating to the non-Apple offering over the last two years and it's only gotten better w/ each transition. MacOS to windows 10 is excellent, Apple Music to Spotify has been a treat. Skipped on the homepod as Alexa & Google have been fantastic and easier to integrate w/ a smart home, but the mobile experience with Apple's iPhone and iPad are something I haven't parted with yet. Chrome's lack of a bookmark bar on iOS is one of the reasons I'm keeping w/ iOS devices. Apple's ecosystem used to be cool, now it just feels limiting. Google in no way has it perfect. I find flaws daily with Google's services and daily w/ Apple's. As soon as my iPhone 8 and 9" iPad pro don't get the latest version of iOS, I'll go Andriod and see how much / if I miss Apple's products and services.

Well Safari uses Webkit which chromium is a fork of. So not really the case

What security issues? As much as I don’t like them, I think they have good security.

Every now and then it defaults back to Safari. After rebooting for sure but I'm not 100% that's the cause.

As is Microsoft Edge now. App updates are coming out with support for various new iOS 14 features.
