I don’t think Google should also offer a product that detects “managed Chrome”

I don't think Google should also be allowed to remain in charge of Chrome at all but here we are.

Uh, why? Context Aware Access is a policy attestation service. Managed Chrome is exactly the sort of thing you'd have policies for.

Google offering "Managed Chrome" is probably the root issue.

Call me old school, but wedging an already dominant browser to be the only full fledge option in GSuite using companies reeks anti-competition.

You don’t have to use managed chrome to use gsuite

I mean the issue here is Google using its dominant power to push for a specific browser within a security software they control.

This is a difference between America and Europe in mentality towards this.

I don’t think that’s true. They support OS verification for windows and Mac. If Firefox implemented verification (I doubt they would) and there was customer demand I think they would support it.

Organization admins may roll out hardened Firefox settings via their MDM solution, and then based on that want to restrict usage to Firefox.

Microsoft has a chrome and Firefox extension for similar management lockdown
