I haven’t followed closely, but Chrome took many steps over the years to make sure software installers couldn’t sneakily install extensions. How is this possible?
- est31 7y agoGoogle does offer a method to install extensions in an automated way for business use cases: https://support.google.com/chrome/a/answer/6306504?hl=en https://support.google.com/chrome/a/answer/6306504?hl=en I guess that Microsoft uses that method in the Office 365 ProPlus installer (also targeted at businesses).
- giovannibajo1 7y agoThis seems a method for enterprise administrators that centrally manage Chrome installation. That page doesn't seem to show a way for third-party software providers to bundle extensions into installers.
- sempron64 7y agoSince Office is a first-class Microsoft component in Windows Update, I'd assume they can use the Windows Updates mechanism to set any group policy or registry settings they need to manage Chrome.
