> I also had to stop using ad-block due to some work-related regulations, and I should demand compensation from the state on that.

I'd love to hear more about this if you don't mind.

I work in healthcare: any plugin with access to your rendered pages is a massive liability.
Interesting that having ads profile the browser - and in many cases the ads or metrics have access to the page - isn't. I wonder if you could persuade them to drop a few domains at the router.
Get the IT guy to switch to Zscalar, Adguard, or similar ad blocking DNS:

At home, I believe the software defined mesh routers from Eero offer a subscription with Zscalar’s malware and ad blocking DNS, 1Password Family, and VPN.

I'd guess it's either "browser plugins are banned" or "one of the advertising companies might sue us."
