    If allowed, doesn’t DoH/DoT mitigate this issue?

      Not if your employer has installed a root CA on your machine, enabling them to man-in-the-middle all your TLS connections.

      Not necessarily, as the browser is still logging the history.

        Well that’s what private mode is for, to dump the local data after closing the browser session

          I know I’m here a week later, but a large number of system administrators disable browser proxy systems, dns over https, and incognito. It’s a neverending war.

            Pretty much, but (noob question) how can they block DoH, wouldn’t they have to block HTTPS completely as well?

              They control the browser settings itself. It’s either a work managed device or profile.
