# Managed Google Chrome

## Description

Google allows for management of the Chrome browser through Google Enterprise and Education. Regardless of device type, by way of an Enterprise Token, those browsers become managed by Google Admins.

Chrome browser management allows for the control of many aspects, from setting features like Home Page to browser reporting.
