✨ Chrome Browser Management
What is Chrome Browser Management?
The majority of employees’ work happens in a browser, such as Chrome, but browsers are also prone to hacks and vulnerabilities. Chrome Enterprise Core sets safe browsing settings to makes sure browsers are secured and protected. Chrome Browser Management leverages Mobile Device Management (MDM) to give you deeper visibility into browser activity in Chrome. You can now enforce key security policies, like Safe Browsing and mandatory Chrome updates, to keep your organization secure. We’ve developed configurations and settings that mean you are able to just toggle-on features in a simple light-touch way.
What’s New?
With this feature, you can:
- View Installed Extensions: Chrome extensions are often a source of vulnerabilities. Now, you can easily view which extensions are installed across your fleet. Simply navigate to the device details page to see all installed extensions.
- Set Security Policies: Configure security policies directly in the Chrome Browser, such as enabling Safe Browsing and enforcing Chrome updates. This is especially important for industries with strict compliance requirements, like HIPAA, where enhanced protection is a must.
Make Sure this Feature is Enabled!

Coming Soon!
We’re working on building more controls, such as setting policies to block certain actions and receive real-time alerts. Expect more enhancements to roll out in the coming weeks!
Extension Management: We’re planning to release a new feature for extension management that will allow you to set policies and block risky extensions. To prepare for this update, we may require additional permissions from your Google Workspace. Don’t worry—there’s no need to update anything right now, but stay tuned for instructions on how to update your API permissions when the time comes.
Why is this great?
✅ Increased Visibility: See what’s happening inside your Chrome browsers and manage extensions more effectively.
✅ Enhanced Security: Automatically enforce security policies to protect your users without disrupting their workflow.
✅ Stay Ahead of Threats: With our upcoming controls and alerting mechanisms, you’ll be able to respond to risks before they impact your organization.
