Hello all,

with json options, a Google Chrome-based web browser can be easily configured globally on a Linux system. This allows you to enforce settings in all areas for all users of a Linux desktop/terminal server. This has the advantage that you don't have to worry about the user settings of each individual and that company-wide policies can be easily applied. In addition, you can have each extension installed automatically.

Since Google and now unfortunately also Firefox are becoming more and more intrusive
when it comes to advertising and skimming personal data, I thought I would disable some unnecessary (→ unwanted) features and increase privacy. It also annoyed me that sometimes new features were tried out and switches in Chrome/Chromium were activated without asking.

Hi,

Thanks for the info, but I am uncertain if the global policy enforcing to override built-in test features may undercut the performance optimisation in the long run? Since it's unclear what the dependencies of such features are in the backend with Google test run, we might end up deprived of an enhanced user experience later.

Thanks,

Thank you for your response. It is possible that performance issues may arise in future versions. If this is the case, please feel free to open an issue on GitHub, and I will look into it.
