Great.. I work in IT so this means MORE "virus" calls because you 100000000% need an adblocker on the web to stop those fake "your computer is being hacked" malicious advertisements from websites.
Time to polish those presentation skills and deliver a memo to your company, extolling the virtues of Firefox as a company-wide browser instead of the now malware inducing Chrome, Opera, and Edge.
Wont happen. Security teams will block it still. Firefox blocks deep packet inspection which corporate security suites use for monitoring. Its the reason chrome is the default now in almost all companies.
The FBI has publicly recommended the use of ad-blockers as a security measure.
How about SRWare Iron?
It’s corporate backed, so security may view it favorably over FOSS forks like Helium or Ungoogled Chromium.
There’s a whole slew of Chromium forks that I think are trying to preserve V2 functionality.
