We permit use of Grammarly only using the stand-alone app or website, and only for content that doesn't contain any personal data & isn't security critical, e.g. blog posts, etc.

As others have said, the browser extension is an unmanageable security risk and we prevent its use and installation.

If you dont mind me asking, what tools are you using to control browser extensions for your users?

We're mandating use of Google Chrome across the org and use the Chrome Enterprise features to force installing (ad blocker, 1Password) and block (Grammarly amongst others) extensions: https://support.google.com/chrome/a/answer/9296680?hl=en

I'm not entirely sure if it's a feature that only comes with Google Workplace, but as part of the Workplace admin interface we get a nice UI for managing all of this.
