Google is giving IT more control over your Chrome extensions

It should make suspicious browser add-ons easier to avoid.

A curated Chrome Web Store experience is launching today for Enterprise workspaces that allows pre-approved extensions to be displayed on the landing page, making them easier for employees to find and install. More controls will be added for IT admins later this year, including a new Chrome Enterprise Core setting that will enable extensions to be removed from users’ systems remotely, and automatically block future downloads. Another feature, coming “early this year,” will let admins place custom messages on extension detail pages to provide more information about their compliance with workspace usage policies.
