How can my workplace admin block Pornhub even when I'm using private mode? He shouldn't even be allowed to see what I do privately!
I mean, this is mostly borne from a fundamental misunderstanding of what "Private Browsing" mode is and was meant to be.
When you open an incognito tab on Chrome, it literally says "Now you can browse privately, and other people who use this device won’t see your activity."
It also says
Fuck using Chrome and I'm not defending Google at all here, but they never once claimed Incognito was anything more than it was.
Pretty sure Firefox says that too. Users just don't read. Like, ever. They'll get an error message saying "Important!" and click whatever button seems most likely to make it go away before calling support and demanding they "fix the computer".
