Secure Site Viewing question

I am a new employee at a large company with a reasonably robust I.T. department. It would appear that I must go through the company proxy to gain access to the internet via IE. How can I ensure I.T. does not have a record of sites I visit?

assume no sites containing spyware are involved

OK, I get that. I know the proxy list of 'restricted sites' is not long. What "can I do" to provide the most protection possible? What advantage does Firefox have over IE for this? Can Ipartially hide my machine name in some way? What about my IP? What specific protection would visiting only https:// sites provide?

I'm not really trying to do anything they would specifically object to and nothing at all that would compromise company data or anything like that so this sounds like it might be more trouble than it's worth.
