    I was explaining to someone in another thread that the only browser that works with the site I have to use for work is Chrome. I can’t help it if the Indian contractors made it Chrome-only somehow. I can’t use any other browser. Sometimes you’re stuck with the shitty option.

      Contractually they can’t fire you for refusing to give up your human rights. Yes, privacy is a human right.

        Yeah, okay, you get me a lawyer that will do that case pro-bono. I’m sure going to need it to be pro-bono since I won’t have a job.

          So if I do, then what? What’s your next argument?

            How about you do that first and we’ll cross the next bridge when we come to it. Good luck. I’m counting on you.

        lol yes they can. Your employer can make you use whatever software they want, and can and do monitor everything you do on their network.

        There is no expectation of privacy when you’re using their hardware or network.

          make you

          That’s a very bold and not entirely true statement. But alright, have at it.

            If your employer gives you a laptop for work, they can lock it down to whatever the hell they want. Standard practice is to give regular users no elevated privileges at all, so you couldn’t install anything that isn’t already installed. Most companies don’t even let users edit the internet options so you can’t even change your default search engine.
