As we gear up for our brand new webinar series on Thursday, May 21st, we wanted to create a dedicated space for you to connect directly with our Chrome experts.If you've joined our webinars before, you might remember that we traditionally post our Q&A sessions retrospectively (like the February Recap).But this time, we’re doing things differently!Instead of waiting until after the event, we are leveraging the power of the community to host a Live Q&A right here in this thread. This new approach brings several awesome advantages for you, members of our community: Real-Time Answers: Drop your questions in the comments below during the live session and our experts will answer them on the spot. Always Open: The conversation doesn't stop when the webinar ends. You can continue to ask questions and discuss updates long after the session is over. Inclusive for Everyone: Can't make the live event? No problem! You can drop your queries in this thread right now and read the answers whene

Hi everyone, 👋As the browser increasingly becomes the primary workspace for modern organizations, we wanted to get a clearer, data-driven picture of how IT and security leaders are adapting their strategies. To do this, we partnered with Omdia to co-sponsor a comprehensive survey exploring the current landscape of browser management, application delivery and security trends.The results gave us some fascinating insights into where budgets are shifting, how deployment strategies are evolving, and the double-edged sword of AI in the enterprise.Here are a few of the most striking takeaways from the research:🚨 The Browser is a Top Target (and Priority): Browser security is no longer an afterthought—it is now a top-five priority for 88% of organizations. This shift is largely driven by the reality of the modern threat landscape, with respondents noting that browser-based attacks now account for up to 37% of their total security incidents.   💰 Budgets are Increasing, but Integration is key

Hello everyone! I’m looking to see if there is someone else who manage to deploy the data masking feature successful since is something quite new. I want to apply a DLP rule that masks sensitive information, but I need it to be selective depending on the user's role/level.The main goal is to have the word REDACTED inside a Sheet/Docs file, and if the user who is accessing is not part of an exclusion group previously created the email field should appear REDACTED. Im able to create the rule and make some test, but i was not able to manage the data masking work inside the Docs / Sheets file. Is this not supported ? 

Good day,We’ve got an odd issue I'm hoping someone can assist us with. Issue description:Unable to download a file from a specific part of a site. When attempting to do so a brief loading symbol appears before nothing happens. Download’s from other areas work as expected. Tech stack:EMM: SOTI MobiControlDevice Type: Mix of Samsung devices tested running between android 14 and 16.Managed config in use: Yes, specifically the “Allow access to a list of URLs “ and “Block access to a list of URLs” with Block access set too: ["*"]. (i can’t show the contents of allow access for privacy reasons but its working as expected other than this issue described here)Chrome app version:  147.0.7727.101 Note: This was not an issue in version 134.0.6998.135 of the app which we reproduced and verified. Investigated so far:Removing the whitelist/allow access in managed config results in the download working as expected. Its quite clear therefore that the allow access list is playing a major role here. Ens

Hi all,I'm giving you a brainteaser about the tablets we manage.The pentest conducted by our red team required us to disable the translation features in Google Chrome.Currently, when the TranslateEnabled policy is set to false, Chrome for Android correctly removes "Translate" from the overflow menu (⋮) and the long-press context menu. However, the Adaptive Toolbar Shortcut (the dynamic button next to the Omnibox) remains active or selectable, allowing users to bypass the restriction.Google Chome Android with Translation button recommandationLogically, if the Toolbar Shortcut was previously set to "Translate" (either manually or via "Based on your usage") before the policy was applied, the button must be hidden or replaced by the default shortcut once the policy is active. Or other behaviour such as should trigger a "Feature disabled by your administrator" message or simply perform no action.Unfortunately, there is no policy for managing the toolbar shortcut. Do you have any idea how to

Hello,We have been using a device policy enforcement which leverage Endpoint Verification Chrome Extension, which limits users access to protected apps on Desktop browsers only.Some users are starting to use larger Android devices for their day-to-day (BYOD, managed by Google MDM with Android Work Profile), and sometimes clicking on links forces opening the browser instead of the native apps, which prevents users from being able to do the work.Would using Managed Chrome browser enforcement work here? How would that work with BYOD devices? What would CEL be? How does enrolling Chrome browser work for BYOD Android devices? https://support.google.com/chrome/a/answer/12120610?hl=enhttps://knowledge.workspace.google.com/admin/security/use-case-managed-chrome-browser-enforcementhttps://knowledge.workspace.google.com/admin/security/context-aware-access-examples-for-advanced-modehttps://docs.cloud.google.com/access-context-manager/docs/custom-access-level-spec

Looking forward to contributing and learning in this amazing space!!  Kudos to the team!
