    So my employer finally decided to roll out controls on browser extensions. I'm kinda surprised they didn't do that sooner, given the shitshows I've seen elsewhere.

    Thankfully, unlike when they banned firefox, they pulled the stick out of their arse and actually allowed UBO as "the one true adblock." (Though they do appear to be blocking Consent-o-matic and Don't Fuck with Paste, which is annoying, but at least it's not "actively sabotaging their own security efforts" like banning UBO would be...)

    And for some reason they let the rank-and-file see the list of every extension that's installed on a company machine (as an anonymous deduplicated list of "what we're not going to allowlist") so I'm over here with my jaw somewhere down in hell's boiler room with just how much absolute shit people have installed on their work machines...
