Not that you guys need the reminder, but your work sees all your browser history and you may not even be able to delete it if you wanted to (lemmy.ca)

Private browsing is a fig leaf at best.

Portable Firefox is hit or miss, depending upon the work environment. It'll definitely show up in file system monitoring, might show up in the logs of the border proxy as an unexpected user agent. The initial download will definitely show up. Removable media might or might not, depending on how group policy is set up.
