Why is Azure, which I never asked for, now blocking my browser?

All of a sudden Azure, was here to fore unknown to me, is blocking my web browser from my known acceptable sites. I never, I repeat, never, asked for this App, nor gave MS permission to install it. MS is managed by a bunch of idiots and I will hold this against MS from here on out. DON'T use your position of control (that I never really knowingly gave you) to make actions w/o asking me. Let me add, from here on out don't ask me because the answer is no.

    Hi @Gary Phetteplace ,

    Since you are not aware of any Azure management and you are the administrator, I believe the problem has nothing to do with your end.

    This problem to me looks more like stemming from the website you are trying to access. If you have this 403 error only on that website, or any other website that is related to it, I would suggest you contact the site owner to see if they have somehow blocked your access via Azure application gateway. The error message you have provided often leads to that possibility.
