    Company hardware isn't checked by user agents but actual running processes

    You're saying they have some sort of app that actively blocks firefox from running on their laptop? I fortunately never worked in a company that did something like this. I would say it's more likely that the web application simply checks user agent and blocks unsupported browsers.

    Yes, companies have software running on company property usually that checks what you're running and installing. I can't even get admin perms on my work machine without asking IT with a good reason. They can also see your browser history and what websites you go to, as an fyi to not browse anything that you wouldn't feel comfortable talking to your boss and HR about on a work machine.

    Fuck Brave. Their CEO is a homophobic transphobe asshole who actively donates money to help take away peoples rights, they are shills for a bunch of AI and crypto BS that is inbuilt in the browser, and they at least used to steal affiliate links.

    Brave has been severely disappointing not because of Brave company or the browser itself, but because it marked a point of tech illiteracy. The affiliate link insertion should have and would have in the past been enough to end them all together.

    Pretty sure Vanadium is mobile only, so unfortunately not really an option.

    Vanadium is not just mobile only. I am pretty sure it's GrapheneOS-only, because it relies on some of the security features that Graphene implements.

    My bet is that a company, that doesn't trust Firefox, probably doesn't trust Graphene either. So, Vanadium is not an option either.
