ephemeral mode
1 TopicEphemeral mode browser auto launch
We are testing the ephemeral mode functionality on Chromebooks and have observed an unexpected behavior. On devices with ephemeral mode enabled, the Chrome browser automatically launches immediately after the desktop loads. This auto-launch then initiates the extension installation process for the user profile. This automatic launch does not occur on a standard Chromebook (not in ephemeral mode), where Chrome remains closed upon login. The current behavior on ephemeral devices is problematic because the spontaneous Chrome launch creates a race condition that disrupts some of our device automation processes. Trying to see if there is a policy that can be set to explicitly prevent Chrome from auto-launching upon login in ephemeral mode. Thanks48Views0likes3Comments
