I notice this more when I have to search for things online on the work laptop. I had no idea how bad some sites were. Things blinking on the one side, a video playing on the other. Huge banners everywhere telling me to download this or click here for this clickbait article.
I’m so accustomed to Firefox, uBlock, Facebook Container, Privacy Badger, and a VPN at home that I feel overwhelmed when I’m online without them. Even my phone has ad blockers and the VPN. It’s a nightmare when you’re running sites…raw.
Can you not install uBlock Origin on your work machine? I'd argue that it will improve your productivity and reduce the chance of losing the company's info to trackers and the like!
Nope. It took a coup for me to just get Firefox installed instead of just using Chrome and no add-one are allowed.
Mental.
