What your employer can actually see when you're browsing at work is a truth everyone should be aware of

"Generally, it's safest to assume that almost everything is visible while browsing at work if you're using a company-provided device, or if you're connected via a company VPN or work WiFi. This stands even if you're working on your personal device. Obviously, anything you do inside work-related applications is also generally visible to the employer. They might not have access to your personal email, but they can certainly check what's going on with your corporate email."

"What an employer can or cannot monitor and see while you're browsing at work depends on a very long list of things. Chief among these are the law in your country, what your contract states, and whether you're using a company-provided device or your own. Working from home won't automatically shield you from this. Even though in this scenario, there's a very clear distinction: work device versus personal device."

An employer's ability to monitor browsing depends on laws, employment contract terms, and whether the device or network is company-controlled. Company-provided devices, corporate VPNs, and work Wi‑Fi typically allow employers to see most activity, including actions within work-related applications and corporate email. Personal devices on home networks are less exposed unless company management or remote monitoring software is installed with consent. Working from home blurs boundaries, but device ownership remains the key distinction: company devices are usually fully observable, whereas personal devices are protected from routine employer monitoring outside work apps.
