OMG I JUST started using Pocket because my work banned Firefox and made us all switch to Edge!!

Now how am I going to sync bookmarks and pages I want to read later on my personal devices??

I generate a QR code and scan it with my phone. Don't sync work and personal devices.

I'd be very tempted to install Firefox in my local appdata folders (which doesn't require admin rights to install), then install a theme to make FF look like Edge with something like this..

Still use real Edge browser for work stuff, but FF for less-than-work stuff.

They are probably scanning for the binary file executable.

If your work doesn't care about your productivity then give them what they deserve for the tools they provide.

I forgot what it is called but there is an extension that syncs bookmarks between Firefox and Chromium browsers.

There’s Instapaper and once upon a time they even gave you an email address to send links into. Maybe they still do that.
