A Better Browser
Starts Here

Hackers hate Chrome Browser.

In fact, neither Internet Explorer nor Edge have been able to outperform Chrome Browser in Pwnium 3 or Pwn2Own contests.

Getting hacked puts data at risk, costs money, hurts your reputation, and threatens the health of your whole business. After years of protecting our own personal network from threats, Chrome Browser has your enterprise’s back in multiple ways:

• Admins can enforce blacklisting and whitelisting policies across a wide range of criteria to control which types of websites, apps and extensions can be accessed by users. IT can apply 300+ policies based on business rules.
• Applying machine learning capabilities, Safe Browsing offers built-in warnings if users attempt to browse to a site that’s been compromised or poses potential risks.
• Sandboxing automatically helps limit processes from one tab from spreading to other tabs.
• Site Isolation further prevents processes from spreading within browser tabs.
• Web standards compliance
  • Chrome Browser meets all world wide web standards to ensure reliability and performance
  • Chrome Browser has helped guide adoption of security protocols and standards, like HTTPs for encryption
• Support or two-factor authentication, including verification by physical touch security keys defend against cyber criminals stealing company information remotely

In fact, Chrome Browser is one of the first browsers that successfully mitigated Spectre attacks.

Extensions give you a big head start.

Edge is new -- not many extensions yet. In the fast-paced world of cloud innovators, you need every time-saver you can get.

Many of today’s fastest-growing enterprises are cloud-based and rely on mobile and remote workers around the world. They’re untethered to a single network or OS. Which frees up resources and employees like never before.

If you support users on multiple devices using multiple SaaS applications on multiple continents, Chrome Browser can be the common denominator for extreme productivity.

Here are three examples

1. Use Chrome Sync. You can ensure an employee’s browser history, bookmarks, apps, extensions and even open tabs can follow them from device to device throughout the day—even as they switch across Windows, Mac and Chrome OS platforms. You can even manage corporate bookmarks centrally through policy, pushing out links to important sites and web apps that users can access from any device when logged into the browser.
2. Block intrusive ads so employees can stay focused. By enabling Chrome Browser’s automatic pop-up blocker through set policies, IT teams can help employees stay on task without being distracted as they get work done on the web.
3. Personalize the browsing experience for employees. IT admins can preset employees’ homepages to internal sites, bookmarks and more. So employees have the latest tools and most up-to-date information. And with Group Policy or Cloud Policy, you can easily set relevant settings and different homepages for different groups in your enterprise.

Light, universal, highly extensible, Chrome Browser is built for the cloud, and it’s the browser your users already know and love. Learn more about it.

The Edge solution for legacy apps is to go back and launch IE. Chrome Browser can do that, too. But Chrome Browser already works with more platforms, including multiple versions of Windows.

By choosing Chrome Browser, your business arms itself with a stable, reliable browser compatible with the latest cutting-edge applications and mission-critical legacy apps.

It’s a modern browser that won’t slow you down because it works with the management tools IT already uses, plus all kinds of apps, websites and devices because it’s compatible with any OS -- Win10, of course, plus Android, iOS, and yes, Win7 (Edge doesn’t even do that).

Enterprises can manage Chrome Browser for Windows in two easy ways:

1. Active Directory

   The defacto standard you’ve always used to manage apps and users.

   • Just like IE and Edge, you can use Active Directory and GPOs the way you always have.
   • Download templates and support articles for free on http://chrome.com/enterprise.

2. Unified Cloud Management

   As you migrate to Win10, why not start managing browsers from a simpler, cloud-based portal. Get a single destination for controlling Chrome Browser policies and setting across all users in your organization. Finally -- one view for browsers across Windows, Mac and Linux.

Did you know?

Edge is positioned as the path forward for Microsoft-based shops, but today’s enterprise ecosystem is much bigger. Chrome Browser gives you 300+ key policy controls so can can continue to go beyond Microsoft with complete confidence.

Enterprise management should leverage the latest cloud tools. According to a recent Forrester study,² 94% of info workers now find browser-based apps easier or as easy to use than desktop software. And web-based tools are good for business, too. Lower capital investment, automatic updates, and predictable subscription-based pricing make web-based tools good for the business too.

To fully realize the user and business benefits of this trend, choosing the right managed browser is important. Chrome Browser gives you greater control than you imagined, while connecting users and teams to the best tools available on the web. And you can do it all through cloud management.

Deploy Chrome Browser to users across your Windows infrastructure, as well as Mac and Linux computers that may be part of your growing enterprise.

Active Directory and Group Policy Object Support allow admins to granularly manage browser policies through existing structures and organizational units. You can also support and manage legacy app usage on alternate browsers.

The list of controls is extensive, logical and easy to implement. With access to the cloud-based Google Admin console, you can manage browser instances across different platforms and operating systems.

You can manage more. In less time.

Chrome Browser puts you in control of the key policies you care about most -- extensions, app access, authentications, cookies, popups, safebrowsing, streaming media handling and much more.

Chrome Browser has become the top choice among everyday users on desktop computers and mobile devices because it’s fast, easy and works on all platforms (2018 Research from StatCounter and NetMarketShare). But that popularity doesn’t speak to its manageability.

As an IT leader and administrator, you can seamlessly deploy and easily manage Chrome Browser to users across your Windows® infrastructure, as well as Mac® and Linux® computers that may be part of your growing enterprise.

Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy Object (GPO) Support allow admins to granularly manage browser policies through existing AD and Organizational Unit (OU) structure through GPOs. You can also support and manage legacy app usage on alternate browsers.

The list of controls is extensive, logical and easy to implement. With access to the Google Admin console, you can also take charge of policies from the cloud, managing browser deployments across platforms from a single place.

One browser can do double duty.

If your business runs more than Microsoft, Chrome Browser supports multiple OS environments and devices, along with the legacy apps your rely on.

Want to future-proof your enterprise? Choose your default browser carefully. By adding Chrome Browser to your tech stack, you can introduce a powerful new IT tool that’s easy and efficient to manage. It’s a modern browser that won’t slow you down because it works with the management tools IT already uses. And Chrome is committed to staying current with whatever comes next.

Chrome Browser creates the best user experience with all kinds of apps, websites and devices because it’s compatible with any OS -- Win10, of course, plus Android, iOS, and yes, Win7 (Edge doesn’t even do that).

Equipped to work securely on an array of end-user platforms and devices, Chrome Browser can be managed in one central hub for a quick and seamless experience for your business to manage.

Partner support affects productivity.

With Win7 end-of-life approaching, how will “no updates available” change your user productivity? A fast, familiar default browser like Chrome can help teams and individuals continue to get the job done.

When it comes to productivity in the face of significant change, there’s a lot to be said for giving users a browser they know and love. Chrome Browser is people proven because it’s productivity focused.

As a hybrid operation, you may be managing browser users across multiple OSes and delivery platforms separately. That’s time-consuming and cumbersome.

With Chrome Browser’s support for Active Directory and Group Policy, you can granularly manage browser policies at the user level through existing AD and OU structure through GPOs. Chrome Browser Cloud Management gives you all the controls you need, all in one place. So you can be more efficient and productive.

In addition, there are millions of Chrome Browser extensions that support stronger productivity and help people customize their web browsing experience. Choose the ones that work for your enterprise and feel good about offering users a versatile tool they’re comfortable with and will actually use.

Even within a managed environment, users can set personal preferences to help them work faster and smarter. Bookmarks, logins, display settings, and security alerts can all be affected to varying degrees for maximum productivity.

Chrome Browser reliability drives productivity, too. Fewer restarts mean more time on task, multiplied by the number of users online every day.

Enterprise-grade support to ensure your success. Chrome Browser empowers employees with the flexibility to access data and apps on the web, on any device, while ensuring enterprises stay safe and mitigate risks. But as enterprise environments grow more complex, IT can often benefit from expert guidance and support for their browsers.

Even the best executed migrations will result in an influx of service desk calls. Confused users, incompatibilities and more can take time from IT.

User documentation is available to help during and after your migration to Win10. For even more support, choose from these optional offerings:

• Deployment services
• 24/7 phone and email support
• Application testing and migration services through expert partners

Custom support if you need it. Enterprises may have unique needs related to widespread adoption of Chrome Browser. Google has optional in-house and partner resources that can help you on this journey. You can even arrange for a single point of contact on the Google Chrome Enterprise team to support your enterprise long term.

What about browser updates? That’s one more place Chrome Browser support shines. Frequent, automatic updates reduce disruptions and distractions during a busy time of change.

You never want that call from a user. "I clicked on an email that looked legit, but I may have entered my password on a fake site."

Chrome Browser for enterprise gives IT administrators numerous powerful policy controls to actively protect employee, customer and market data, and intellectual property...even when all that information lives in the cloud.

For example, you can:

• Set password alerts. You can enable a policy that will require users to change their corporate password if they enter it into a non-corporate site. This helps protect corporate accounts from being compromised
• Require sign-in. Better enforce policies that you want to manage at the user level, for example enabling or disabling password manager or managing outdated plugins.
• Control extensions on a granular level. Chrome Browser allows you to whitelist and blacklist extensions for added assurance. You also have the option to change specific access of an extension, like if you want to specifically prevent an extension from requesting to access a camera. This gives you the flexibility to open up the use of extensions as much or as little as makes sense for your organization.
• Add additional layers of protection with site isolation. Site isolation ensures that pages from different websites are always put into different processes, each running in a sandbox that limits what the process is allowed to do. It also blocks the process from receiving certain types of sensitive data from other sites. As a result, a malicious website will find it more difficult to steal data from other sites.

These policies and dozens like them give you more agility and muscle at the front door of your cloud-based operation -- the Chrome Browser. Here’s where you can learn more.
