While I use a combination of Waterfox and LibreWolf on my personal computer, unfortunately for work I need to use a Chromium based browser to work with all of the corporate spynet type stuff. I used to use Opera for a decade plus but recently switched to Vivaldi because it feels more like OG Opera instead of an amalgamation of stuff

Ah. I'm the IT at work. Chrome is blocked on all domain joined devices. Otherwise it's Edge business with GPOs managing it, or Firefox. I do run 3x Piholes for ad blocking too. Have about 1m queries in a 24 hour period, works like a champ!

We're a SMB so I kind of get to do what I want, within reason. But yeah a lot of corporate bullshit with tech doesn't make any sense! I'm not here to blow through videos with stupid high spending and all the monitoring stuff. Just lock it down you'll be fine. I'm simplifying of course, but still.
