Issue:
Can users be prevented from disabling or uninstalling the WithSecure Browsing Protection extension from Google Chrome?
Can this be done from the WithSecure Policy Manager Console for Client Security or from the Elements Endpoint Protection Portal for EPP for Computers?
Resolution:
WithSecure products do not feature a setting to prevent the WithSecure Browsing Protection extension from being disabled or uninstalled by the users from the Google Chrome browser.
Chrome does have an ExtensionInstallForceList which can be used to specify list of apps and extensions which cannot be uninstalled nor disabled by the user. You can learn more about this feature from the Chrome Enterprise Policy List: https://cloud.google.com/docs/chrome-enterprise/policies/?policy=ExtensionInstallForcelist
