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.

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.

Yeah, I can still see that activity. You're still doing it wrong.

Personal device not on corporate network or you're doing it wrong.

Sure but people see that you are on the phone while the IT people don't really care what you do and by bosses aren't checking those logs so idc. it's about being discreet on some layers.

If I were at home I wouldn't need to do anything to hide it since I would use my pc but since I'm in the office I have to get creative.

Also, 5hisbpost was 7 days old :)
