Description

This policy controls the Process Isolation settings for Google Chrome.

Enabling Process Isolation improves the security of Google Chrome by preventing authorized applications on the system from tampering with or reading the contents of Google Chrome's running processes. This helps prevent other applications on the system from gaining access to Google Chrome's encrypted data.

Enabling Process Isolation may cause incompatibilities with third party applications that rely on being able to inject or tamper with Google Chrome's processes, such as antivirus, screen reader or window manager applications.

Setting the policy to Enabled turns on process isolation in Google Chrome.

Setting the policy to Disabled turns off process isolation in Google Chrome.

If this policy is unset, Google Chrome will follow the default rollout process for the Process Isolation feature, which means that the feature will be gradually rolled out to an increasing number of users.

Note: This policy is applied when Google Chrome starts. If the policy is changed while Google Chrome is running, the new setting will take effect on the next restart.
