    As an IT administrator, if your org has GPOs controlling if you can delete your browsing history or not, there is no chance you will be able to install a second browser without admin credentials.

      I can confirm there are places where that is possible.

      Also as long as they do not whitelist executables, you could use a portable version of a browser.

        And you would still get caught on the company device trusting company CAs, thus enabling them to decrypt all your traffic.

        Use a personal device on a personal network for personal stuff.

          I was talking about the history on device, of course I agree: never expect privacy on a device controlled by someone else.

      And you might me right, but there are portable versions that don’t require admin rights, and in my case, there were already several browsers installed so that users might use their preferred one, it’s just that Firefox has the most obscure profile management where I’d you open it normally it opens the default one, and you need to go to non intuitive places or open it with win+R “Firefox.exe -r profilename” iirc, so it’s way more hidden and you can then even store sessions and such.

      I’m a professional slacker, yes.
