        At large organizations you’re generally not allowed to download much of anything without it passing through IT security and management first. If it’s a no, it will probably stay a no.

        Yeah. What company wouldn’t allow it?

        When I was working for an ad exchange, everyone had adblock installed in their browsers, I found that quite ironic.

          I would argue it’s a security issue not to have any ad blocking. Many scams online start with popups or fake ads.

          So if you get the opportunity to talk to IT that’s what I would mention.

            A good IT is blocking ads at a company-level. Browser extensions wouldn’t matter, and in fact, shouldn’t be allowed for the same reason.

          My IT department uninstalled it from my work laptop, and told me not to reinstall it because - and I quote: “The only browser IT officially supports is Google Chrome.”

          What makes this doubly stupid is that I’m a web developer. I literally can’t test my stuff on another browser…
