In this adconomy?
I've used an adblock for more than a decade now. At work, due to security reasons, the way we connect to internet is quite restricted and I don't have an adblock. Internet experience is terrible with that, like unusable. Most websites you barely can find what you are looking for, and the annoyance is constant. It's like a nightmare every time I have to use it that way.
yk you could "side-load" install the adblocker extension manually from flash drive ;)
EDIT: /s? I am aware there are jobs that require very high security, this was just a cheeky don't-really-do-this remark.
If they aren't allowed to install AdBlockers, I doubt they are allowed to plug in random flash drives into their work machines
One possible solution: if OP is allowed to connect their phone to their work computer, and they have a rooted Android phone, they could get around this using VPN tethering. I'll spell out how to do this, in case someone else can benefit from it.
What's needed:
Steps:
If it doesn't work, try turning on USB debugging on your phone, or changing default USB configuration under Developer options
only if I want to risk losing my job and potential criminal charges (not joking)
Also using my VPN's DNS to block adware on phone and desktop as well as Pi-hole at home for guests who don't use a VPN
Right? It's like sleeping with strangers without a condom on. Even the FBI recommends an adblocker now.
