@chewie I would love to see Alphabet take some responsibility for the havoc their platforms are responsible for in cyberspace. Plagarism & misinfo on Youtube, an endless stream of phishing from gmail and malvertising on Google search. I know feds have their hands full and their priorities are opaque but it would be cool to see the FTC step in and do something more than issue a light fine.

@redteamwrangler well, in this hypothetical, Marketing would already have an exception in place. I wonder if MS Intune or Edge has enterprise ad block stuff. It definitely would reduce support engagement if the user could switch it on and off, you're right.

@redteamwrangler I would say, in that case, it would behoove the org to leverage safe-unsubscribe features that IronPort, KnowBe4 and Microsoft offer. However, you're right, there should be an avenue for the user to ask politely for a temporary exception. I'd prefer not to manage an extension, especially if some plucky TA were to compromise it.

@chewie I'd love to just use an Adblock DNS provider, honestly. Unfortunately someone in marketing insisted they be able to view ads and... I guess that means the entire org gets 'em, now. Frustrating.

I am interested in y'all's take: is enterprise-level Ad blocking a good security practice? I'd say, yes absolutely, now that Google & Doubleclick are serving malware.
