With IE, you cannot bypass forced advertising, interstitial, etc. They even don't allow you to change the security settings - for me, make it more strict.

I worked at a gov site myself. I still work for a DoD contractor, there as well, we are required to use IE. Firefox is forbidden.

At home, Firefox or Seamonkey.

Ah... the government USED to make us use IE. :) I use it at work as do many people. We just can’t put certain add ons in it, but it’s a “class III” software meaning that it has to be approved by our IA folks.

Well, our settings are forced on the systems too, security policies etc. However, there are some things done to remove advertising here (and it’s annoying too, because it slows things to a crawl). Even on FF it’s blocked for me.

It’s got something to do with the firewall and the other neato security crap they put in. I don’t mess with that stuff myself any more, I only work on my systems, which they can’t touch. My internet connection goes through them though.

Also, the IA policies are set by Agency. So my agency has a world wide guideline everyone must meet. Not sure which one you work for but it can’t be much different than mine since it all comes down from DOD anyway
