Hi all - I have a work laptop, and connect via their network on my home wifi. I use Microsoft Edge, and everything on that laptop is restricted to my work accounts - I am not signed into anything personal on that computer.

On my personal laptop, I use Chrome, a different Windows account and am not signed into anything from work on there.

The only connection is my phone, where I’ve got my work outlook and an authenticator and of course my personal activity. I’m now seeing ads on my work laptop that are coming directly from my personal activity on my laptop. WTF? I’m assuming it’s because of having my work outlook signed into on my phone. Anything I can do to keep my private activity out of my work activity?
