	"plain_text": "Block Chrome Extensions using Google Chrome Group Policy\r\nSettings\r\nBy Ashish Mohta\r\nPublished: 2010-12-20 · Archived: 2026-04-06 02:08:37 UTC\r\nIf you are tired of people who come and install any extension in your Chrome browser, specially after recent\r\nintroduction of WebStore, you can use the Group Policy Option for Google Chrome ( Learn How to install on\r\nWindows 7 / Windows Server 2008 R2 / Windows Server 2003 / Windows XP ) to block any extension you want.\r\nIf you have system admin privilege, Launch the Group Policy Editor and  Navigate to Computer Configuration\r\n\u003e Administrative Templates \u003e Google \u003e Google Chrome. Here look for folder name Allowed extensions. Here\r\nyou have two configuration files one which lets you whitelist or always allow an extension and another which\r\nblocks the extension to installed in Chrome Browser.\r\nEven if an extension is already installed it will be blocked instantly unless you have mentioned it in the whitelist.\r\nIf you give * in the blacklist all the extensions will be disabled and nobody can install it. As soon as you block\r\neverything it will remove the apps section listing from the Chrome New Tab.\r\nHow to add Chrome Extensions into Black List :\r\nNow to block an extension you will need the ID which is 32 Alphabet long and you generally can see it when\r\nyou install it. However if you want to find the ID of the installed Extensions do this :\r\nGo to Tools \u003e Extensions. Here you will see the list of apps/ extensions installed.\r\nNow on right corner there will be a link which says Developer Mode. Click on this and you will see\r\nexpanded mode of the extensions.\r\nRight under the description of the Extension you will see the ID listed.\r\nAdd this to BlackList and the extension will be removed immediately.\r\nHowever if you remove it from BlackList it gets enabled only when you restart the chrome browser.\r\nIn case you have created shortcut or made it as stand alone application, the browser will open a blank tab when\r\nyou launch the blocked extension.\r\nSource: http://www.technospot.net/blogs/block-chrome-extensions-using-google-chrome-group-policy-settings/\r\nhttp://www.technospot.net/blogs/block-chrome-extensions-using-google-chrome-group-policy-settings/\r\nPage 1 of 1",
