Configuration Manager Deploy Google Chrome. Before we begin, download Google Chrome MSI, and copy MSI to a folder, where you place content for Configuration Manager deployments.
Google Chrome is a popular web browser developed by Google. It was first released in 2008 and is currently available for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android operating systems.
Google Chrome is known for its speed, simplicity, and user-friendly interface. It supports a wide range of web technologies, including HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and WebGL, which allows it to handle complex web applications and graphics with ease. Chrome also features built-in tools such as a task manager, a download manager, and a bookmark manager.
One of Chrome’s most notable features is its integration with Google services, such as Gmail, Google Drive, and Google Translate. Users can also customize Chrome with a variety of extensions, which can add new functionality and enhance their browsing experience.
Cu toate acestea, Chrome has faced criticism for its heavy resource usage, which can slow down older or lower-end computers, and for its data collection practices, which some users may find intrusive. În plus, its dominance in the browser market has raised concerns about Google’s control over the web and potential antitrust issues.
