A place to discuss privacy and freedom in the digital world.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.

- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience

MODERATORS
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.
