    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 literally have control of and log every app that’s installed and will bug you until you uninstall it.

        Unless they’re doing app signing or binary examination, some of the methods to “log every app” literally look for an executable name. Renaming “firefox.exe” to “explorer.exe” (an obviously allowed executable name) and then executing it will still run Firefox.
