For administrators who manage Chrome Browser on Windows, Mac, or Linux computers.
As an IT admin for a business or school, you can deploy Chrome Browser to users across Microsoft® Windows®, Apple® Mac®, and Linux computers. You can then manage 200+ policies that govern people's use of Chrome, such as the apps and extensions they can use, data security and privacy, their browsing experience, and more.

Enforce policies on-premise
After Chrome Browser is installed on your users’ computers, use your preferred on-premise tools to enforce policies that control their use of Chrome. Policies can apply whether or not people are using Chrome Browser or signed in to any account. You can enforce policies that users cannot modify. Or set default preferences that users can change.
- Enforce policies using Windows Group Policy or your preferred tool for Mac configuration files or JSON files.
- Alternately enforce policies by updating the Windows Registry.
- Deploy default user preferences using a master_preferences file.
Note: The master_preferences file will be renamed to initial_preferences.json in Chrome 88.
Support legacy browser apps
Your organization can take advantage of Chrome Browser while still easily accessing older websites and apps that require Internet Explorer. Just deploy Legacy Browser Support (LBS). When users click links in the Chrome Browser that instead require a legacy browser, the URL automatically opens in the legacy browser.
