Hiya - So I have time at work to browse ffxiv sites and unfortunately, the best I've found (xivdb) isnt friendly to my workplaces IE8 - does anyone happen to know of a site where I can look up basic item info, etc using an older browser?
Database friendly to old browsers

Ask your boss to update the browsers to the newest IE. Keeping them outdated is a huge security risk.

Whether it is or isn't physically possible to install google chrome is irrelevant. Most workplaces monitor downloads and record which station and ID downloaded it. So just going ahead without permission is a bad idea.
However, there are a LOT of different wiki's out there for FFXIV, maybe you can find what you need on one of those? -

Give ffxiv.gamerescape.com a try and see how that works on your browser. I don't believe it needs any complicated flash or such to display the pages. The ads might, but not the pages themselves.

I'd just be careful with what you read on gamerescape as a LOT of those pages haven't been updated for ARR.
