Wow, didn't know that is possible. Is it same behavior with other browsers?

Same can be said for any browser, any app, any connection while on the employers network IF they wished to monitor it. Even if you were able to delete all local browsing history and used private browsing, your employer would still be able to know every site you visit if they wished.
If you've authenticated with your credentials on the device, IT is able to see IPs visited and DNS queries and has access to all sorts of network tools to track, shape and otherwise manage your activity.
It's best to assume that nothing you do on your employers network, even when logging into their corporate VPN from a personal device, is private.
I'm always shocked by privacy conscious people who do not have complete segregation of work and personal equipment and devices.
Unlimited mobile data with tethering and no blocking of piracy websites ftw

For US government employees USAJobs is probably one of the most accessed websites.
Also in Google searches, if you click the vertical ... next to the URL on results, click the down arrow in the pop-up, and click Cached you can likely access a version of the website your white/blacklist service doesn't block. If there are SFW sites you need access to. Generally all scripts are disabled, though.
