For a long time, my company blocked Spotify so we couldn't use the desktop app or Spotify site via browser to stream... until I installed a VPN Proxy browser extension (like HOX) and then I could stream Spotify (and Pandora) in-browser while connected to the corporate network. Granted, there are all types of corporate blocks, so installing browser extensions isn't always possible. You don't know until you try. | |
