As an IT administrator, if your org has GPOs controlling if you can delete your browsing history or not, there is no chance you will be able to install a second browser without admin credentials.

I can confirm there are places where that is possible.

Also as long as they do not whitelist executables, you could use a portable version of a browser.

And you would still get caught on the company device trusting company CAs, thus enabling them to decrypt all your traffic.

Use a personal device on a personal network for personal stuff.

I was talking about the history on device, of course I agree: never expect privacy on a device controlled by someone else.
