I don't understand why companies don't have network-wide adblockers on their employee systems and intranets. Used to be in the Air Force, ads everywhere. Now work for a contractor, still ads everywhere.

Don't they know that blocking ads can speed up their networks? That ads track activity and may be revealing sensitive information about employees?

I don't get it.

I block ads on my work network. Perimeter and endpoints.
