Mein Kampf! I thought it was merely a new plugin foundation. I was giving plugin-writers a chance to catch up. You block ads at a DNS level then?

Nah use ublock/adblock and privacy badger. Actually I don't remember what I use at work, come to think of it I may have opted not to install any blockers in case it breaks some of the crappy company apps. Lot of apps at work are written for IE6 and they upgraded us to IE11 a while back so most of them don't work, but oddly enough they do work in Firefox.

That's a pain in the ass. We used to have to do that at some point for one application, but something changed where it worked natively on the machine. We do have a few things running in a VM but overall we try to stay away from that as it just makes things more complicated. A VM is still an OS/machine you have to manage and log in to.

That's what we did, it's still something you have to remote into and manage etc and adds an extra step. (it already takes a good 45 minutes to get setup from a fresh boot). We do have a few apps that run in RDP because they don't want to give us direct access. But last thing we want is to add more.


I have like thirty VMs
