Remove the Your Browser is Managed by Your Organization Message in the Google Chrome Settings

If you ever go into your Google Chrome settings and see a message on the top of each settings page that says "Your Browser is Managed by Your Organization", you might be wondering how that got there or how to get rid of it. There is a chance it could have been placed there by your work IT department, something you downloaded or even a setting you changed while messing around with your browser. Regardless of the reason, its usually pretty easy to get rid of with a few simple steps.

Here are the notes from the video.

chrome://policy/

chrome://flags/#show-managed-ui

Look for Show managed UI for managed users and disable it

If it's not there, then open Regedit and navigate to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome

Then try to delete the policy or the Chrome folder. Just be aware that if you delete the folder, it will delete all the policies that were assigned.

Here is a writeup of the process on our website.

You don’t understand how much this helped. I panicked when I saw this message along with an installed extension on edge (I never use edge so it’s been there for years) that contained malware. Malwarebytes could get rid of the files but it was persistent, utilizing the force install policy on both browsers to do who knows what silently. Of course being browser policies no antivirus would have ever caught it.

Dude I can't thank you enough. I spent 2 hours trying to fix this before finding your video. No more bing redirects!

This video is a year old and it still works. Thank you so much! Nothing else I did worked to remove this. I am forever grateful💜

Duddeee! You're such a legend! This has been bugging me for such a long time! I followed your method and that "Managed by your Organization" disappeared! Thank you so much for your help!

This needs to get shared everywhere seriously I was looking everywhere for a solution! Thank you so much!

The registry key does it. Also usable for Microsoft Edge Thank you so much! (Why might this happen: Here, an add on together with an additional installation of a commercial software that "must" be installed to guarantee the communication between other software on my computer and the add on has done this, to both browsers, Chrome and Edge. This might be interesting for everyone trying to find out why the browser has been changed in that way [without being infected].) Edit, because I just read the other replies: Yes, it removes the "managed by your organization", and one can check via chrome://policy (or edge://flags) that it was really removed. Thank you so much for really giving _all_ information!!!

Genuinely resolved my issue immediately after ages of trying. Thank you very much. Extensions can be a pain

[jessthompson]

I don't think you understand how much of an impact you've had on others lives. You are a f*cking legend. I've been panicking for like 2 weeks all because chrome wanted to update and extensions were added.

Thank you for making a guide that actually works and is simple and direct. It's unfortunate that I had to crawl through a half dozen videos that were 5 times the length and didn't actually provide a working fix. Thank you thank you thank you!
