      Yeah, like, what the fuck? Why on earth would anyone do that? Do they not own a phone?

      Browser history is the most minor part. You should assume that your work sees everything you do to at least some degree. They may have full access to everything on your computer and private browsing won’t do anything against that. It’s also common that work computers would use a work owned VPN, so they’ll at least know what sites you’re visiting. HTTPS prevents knowing exactly what you’re doing, but a VPN provider will know what IPs you’re connecting too and thus will have a high level of what you’re doing.

      Because I convinced my work to get me a linux laptop on the condition I would not get any IT support.

      I don’t abuse the privilege, but I can at least check my bank account without the man-in-the-middle TLS spyware or remote monitoring software.

      I can’t access anything on the corporate network because I don’t have the root certs. Everything is in the cloud now so I’m not really missing much.
