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)

Anyone know exactly what they could see if you're on a personal device but work-wifi?

[–] Trono@reddthat.com 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Every URL visited minimum unless you are going to an encrypted VPN outside their network first, then they will still see the network traffic to that vpn . I Know someone that got caught redditing on work wifi. granted they also had their device name set to use their name in it... so some of that is on them

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.
