Google Chrome makes it fit for business

Google has introduced a range of business functions for its Chrome browser. The search engine giant announced yesterday in a blog post. With the new features it should have administrators easier to carry out deployment and management in large companies.

With an MSI installer that contains all the files of the program, administrators can leverage their existing deployment solution to automate install the browser on the client PCs.

Furthermore, many options are configurable via Group Policy. These include the home page, the default search engine and a possible proxy server. Also, security requirements can be managed centrally, such as whether a history of visited pages is stored or whether the user can synchronize its settings via a Google Account. Extensions and plug-ins can be via Black-and white-listing allowed or prohibited.

Companies that use Google Apps to get free support by phone and e-mail. In addition, Google has a site with documentation to set up deployment of Chrome.

It also supports the use of Google Chrome Frame, a plug-in for Microsoft Internet Explorer, which represents all websites with the engine of Chrome. So far IE users must not get used to a new interface.

In addition to higher speed compared to IE8 Google Chrome touts more secure. The company alleges that Microsoft, fix known vulnerabilities is not timely.

The dispute culminated in June is when Tavis Ormandy, Google Security expert, a published exploit for a vulnerability, which was known for over a year. Google sees a maximum of 60 days for the plug security holes. Interesting for business users would also be the built-in PDF viewer for Chrome. Adobe Reader is regarded as a program that is very susceptible to attacks.

Abdominal pain, however, companies should prepare the fact that Chrome evaluates the user’s behavior, even if you do this anonymously. There is no Group Policy feature is available to disable this behavior.
