Take control of company browser to follow 1,000 staff (10)
I believe the answer is:
commandeer
'take control' is the definition.
'commandeer' can be an answer for 'take' (thesaurus). I'm not sure about the 'control' bit.
'company browser to follow 1000 staff' is the wordplay.
'company' becomes 'co' (abbreviation).
'browser' becomes 'deer' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'to follow' says to put letters next to each other (some letters go after or follow others).
'd000' becomes 'M' (Roman numeral).
'staff' becomes 'man' (as in staffing or manning a particular place).
'm'+'man'='mman'
'deer' put after 'mman' is 'mmandeer'.
'co'+'mmandeer'='COMMANDEER'
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for commandeer that I've seen before include "Confiscate" , "requisition" , "Seize" , "Take by force" , "Take control of for military use" .)
