In my former job, I had no choice but use Chrome due to work rules. If I couldn't have installed uBlock at the time, it would have killed me. So I hope for people like me, there's at least an adblocker that has a small chance of working in Chrome.
I'm curious if "must use browser X" is a deal breaker for many people.
Would you quit a job for forcing a specific browser?
For me it was the OS. We agreed, when I started my job, that I would use Windows but that I would eventually switch to Linux, which I did a few months in. If they wouldn't allow it, although agreed upon, I would have left - which I did anyways, but for totally different reasons
Vivaldi has an adblocker built-in but has no cosmetic filtering unfortunately. I did ask and they said it's been prioritised given the MV3 problems.
If they were in my situation, installing another browser was not an option, but installing Chrome extensions was still possible.
In that case, it's best to hope the workplace enables the enterprise policy.
Well that sucks.
