Not that you guys need the reminder, but your work sees all your browser history and you may not even be able to delete it if you wanted to (lemmy.ca)

My work has a 100% mandatory vpn and mitm proxy for ssl scanning. I just use parsec to view my laptop from my desktop and browse what I want on my actual personal computer

These are worse than useless. They are anti safety. If this box or its private keys get compromised ALL tls traffic of all employees is immediately plaintext.

Any company that buys one of these appliances from mcafee or whatever is asking for it (losing most/all their secrets)

That sort of thing is required for a lot of enterprise certifications. When you do work for government, healthcare, banking, etc. stupid "security" is mandatory for checking off compliance requirements. Not that any of it has to be in any way effective...

if you don't have your personal browsing using a private profile of a secondary browser which you know you can delete, you are doing it wrong.

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.
