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!
I don’t think you need admin rights to install plugins in browsers, have it put Firefox, add the ublock origin plugin yourself. Or sync plugins from your Firefox on another computer.
Oh, they do. We are only allowed to use Edge, and most extensions are blocked.
The user also mentioned this is in a medical setting, not sure I’d be doing personal stuff on that computer at all. Do your work.
Firefox has Enterprise controls that can disable reading plugins or extensions from the user profile.
