I use ad blockers and open source privacy focused software whenever I can but occasionally I have to use computers that don't belong to me or an older phone where my usual applications aren't installed and seeing all the advertisements just feels dirty and dystopian.

I think the worst ads are the text to speech ones that say "Download this app today". The unblinking energenic people saying you can make a living at home are probably a close second.

Can you not install uBlock Origin on your work machine? I'd argue that it will improve your productivity and reduce the chance of losing the company's info to trackers and the like!

Nope. It took a coup for me to just get Firefox installed instead of just using Chrome and no add-one are allowed.
