Or someone just forks Chromium and releases Chromium For Enterprise.

  Which again helps nobody, because forks of Chromium will inevitably lag on security fixes.

    At my last job, my manager tasked me with finding a way to defeat Chrome's update mechanism for all of our employees because a new version had introduced a bug that broke our internal web applications. I disregarded his plan and just introduced a workaround for the bug, but the point remains that enterprise customers already consider it a value-add to freeze their software in time for perpetuity. Hell, my workstation was running XP until I needled IT to grant me a "premature" upgrade to Win 7.

      Sorry, I meant that from the perspective of the Chromium team.

        Indeed, I agree with the policy that if someone can control what's installed locally, they've already won.
