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!
Because legit ads aren’t malware. The edge protection devices actually filter and monitor the ad traffic like any other Internet traffic, scanning for known or heuristic attacks.
Blocking ads at the Enterprise is more expensive than it’s worth. When legit traffic is blocked, it makes work for the team, and avoiding that makes the filters too permissive to be useful.
Portable apps will get you fired, don’t use them if you’re not authorized.
