      Overview

      The Devicie Google Chrome provides a wide range of management configuration for organisations to begin managing Google Chrome, in a tailored manner. It covers a wide range of items that encourage standardisation, improve security and overall functionality, with minimal impact to typical user activity. By ensuring end users leverage this template, their browser configuration (including items like favourites) will be restored on device refresh, improving user experience.
