Choice of Web Browser in a network environment
We use Internet Explorer due to eas of integration with GPOs and because, well, we understand it!
But some people in our department are asking for Google Chrome instead because it has some developer toold built into it, or something. I'm not exactly sure how useful these tools are, but anyway, my question is, can we install google Chrome on clients whose users are using romaing profiles? Are there any potential probelms? Or should we stick with IE9 and find some other solution regarding the developer tools.

Also, how does it work with anti-virus software. We use worry-free Trend Micro. I also use , Ad-aware and C-cleaner from time to time. How does it work with them?

Thanks once again for all the help. However only GPO adms listed in the link were regarding automatic updates. There was nothing about temporary files and security. IS there anything on this do you know?

We use GPO's to limit the temporary files cache size, and other security settings. How can this be achieved with Google Chrome?
