I recently had to install chrom'ium' on my work pc, because all the mainstream browsers were auto installing an un-removable tracking extension via some domain policy :(. I'm sure my manager gets some report at the end of the month detailing how many hours I had a news.ycombinator.com tab open



Why even use you work pc for non-work purposes?

If you want to browse HN, why not just browse it on your phone?


Because phones are small and horrible to type on.


Same here. It’s touted as a security add on but it also just happens to do lots and lots of tracking and reports for management


There are portable versions of browsers that you don't need to install and work just out of any folder.
