Our IT Dept only allow IE to be used as a browser, and Firefox when IE doesn't work (lol) but won't allow Chrome?! WHY?!?! :(

From what I've heard Chrome is much more secure... is this right? Is there anything to support it?

Their argument was that it evades the companies proxy... which it doesn't - it uses IE's settings! :S
 
Last time I looked Chrome was less secure and a pain to support as you cannot lock it down with policy’s. Chrome also allows you to change proxy’s to bypass internet filtering I thought.

When you click 'Change Proxy Settings' it takes you to the inbuilt windows one that IE uses (which is blocked).
