Applies to managed Chrome browsers and ChromeOS devices. As a Chrome Enterprise admin you can block and allow URLs so that users can only visit certain websites. Restricting users’ internet access can increase productivity and protect your organization from viruses and malicious content found on some websites. Use
the blocklist and allowlist for basic URL management. If you need stronger filtering, use a content-filtering, web-proxy server or extension. Use the URL blocklist and allowlist to: Sometimes,
the blocklist and allowlist does not work as expected. For example, if you block an entire website and allow a specific webpage URL for that site, users might be able to access other content on that website. It is best practice to not block some URLs. These include: The chrome://settings and
chrome://os-settings URLs should be considered part of the operating system for ChromeOS and part of the browser for Chrome and should never be blocked. Even if you do block some of them, some users might get around this policy by using JavaScript commands to navigate to these pages regardless. For example, if you block the Wi-Fi subpage chrome://os-settings/networks?type=WiFi, users can still go to the page by using the navigation code within settings
from the JavaScript console. ChromeOS system components use chrome-untrusted:// to process data from users or the web and blocking it is not recommended as it will break some system components. This special url scheme allows Google to make sure any data not included with ChromeOS is handled safely with all the safeguards that the Chrome browser provides and that this data can't access functionality reserved for system components. Whenever a system component can process
user-supplied data or content from the web, chrome-untrusted://URLs are used. If you want to block chrome://settings, chrome://os-settings or chrome-untrusted://, use the SystemFeaturesDisableList policy. This blocks all the settings, not just part of it. Do not use URLallowList or URLblockList policies to do this. For details, see
Disabled system features. If you have a specific page you want to block, you should isolate what exactly in the page that you want to block from users. You can then alert Chrome or ChromeOS support about what policies you want implemented. Developers can then add a policy for the specific functionality that should be blocked instead. Step 1: Review policies
Step 2: Specify URLs Chrome users can visitClick below for the steps, based on how you want to manage these policies. Admin console Can apply for signed-in users on any device or enrolled browsers on Windows, Mac, or Linux. For details, see Understand when settings apply.
Windows Applies to Windows users who sign in to a managed account on Chrome browser. Using Group PolicyIn your Microsoft Windows Group Policy Editor (Computer or User Configuration folder):
You can block and allow up to 1,000 URLs. For URL syntax, see Allow or block websites—URL filter format. Mac Applies to Mac users who sign in to a managed account on Chrome browser. In your Chrome policy configuration profile (.plist file):
You can block and allow up to 1,000 URLs. For URL syntax, see Allow or block websites—URL filter format. The example shows how to block all URLs except mail.example.com, wikipedia.org, and google.com.
Linux Applies to Linux users who sign in to a managed account on Chrome browser. Using your preferred JSON file editor:
You can block and allow up to 1,000 URLs. For URL syntax, see Allow or block websites—URL filter format. The example shows how to block all URLs except mail.example.com, wikipedia.org, and google.com. First, create a file that contains the blocked URLs.
Then, create a file that contains the allowed URLs.
Step 3 : Verify policies are appliedAfter you apply any Chrome policies, users need to restart Chrome browser for the settings to take effect. You can check users’ devices to make sure the policy was applied correctly.
