By work computer, I mean one that you have very limited control over - can’t install anything, or add extensions, etc.
For example, there used to be a trick where you could run a Bing search of a YouTube URL and the results would include an embed of the video but with Bing’s own video player, and something about that made the ads not work. Which was great - ad free YouTube on a computer I can’t install ad blockers on!
That doesn’t seem to work anymore, but makes me wonder if there are things like that - just little roundabout tricks to make the experience less trash, on a rig where my options are limited to what’s already there.
Asking about any tricks, not just YouTube or ad related ones (but those too if you know any!).
Thanks all!
Assuming you’re dead set on getting fired for using corporate resources outside of approved methods, forward port 443 to an SSH server at home, use an SSH tunnel to connect to RDP or Xwin or VLC or whatever remote desktop, and run your home apps via local remote desktop.
If your org is running a well configured layer 7 firewall, they might block this as well.

if you have an unlimited data connection on your phone, use usb tethering, set the network interface priority to lowest, and configure ssh to tunnel through your phone (run sshd on termux). Use ssh -L from wsl
