Wow, you can’t use chrome, IE, or even Edge? That’s pretty locked down! I suppose portable apps are locked down too? I suspect there are portable versions of browsers but I wouldn’t know as I’ve never had a reason to look. I’ve never had trouble running ConnectedText ,UltraRecall, etc as portable versions (via usb drive, onedrive/dropbox, or hard drive) when I couldn’t install programs.

The default is currently IE. They have been deploying Chrome and FF on demand, but I have not yet had a strong business case to request it, but I am sure I could get it if I asked the right person. I am sure they would frown on portable apps, and if detected, they would be reported, so I choose my task managers wisely.

Onenote (and ms apps in general) fall down in app parity across platforms. We have; just last week; migrated from gsuite to O365. I’m the only Mac/iOS user. It’s been a nightmare to try to use ms Mac apps. I’ve set everything up in macOS apps, but not without problems. I could write a list as long as my arm about features Windows users have tha Mac doesn’t. It also bugs me that muscle memory keyboard shortcuts such as CTRL + a and CTRL +e don’t work, or only work in some windows.

These reasons alone would keep me from storing my data in Onenote.

Any idea when dark mode is coming?

I’m really looking forward to that.
