Your browser is managed by your organisation How to remove?

If you see a message saying "Your browser is managed by your organization," it usually indicates that your browser has been configured with settings imposed by an organization, school, or business, often through a policy management tool such as Group Policy in Windows or similar mechanisms on other systems. Here are some steps you can take to remove these management settings: ### 1. Check for Organizational Policies - **Contact Your IT Department:** If the browser is managed by your organization, it is best to contact your IT department or system administrator for assistance. They may have a reason for the management settings and can provide guidance on how to address it. ### 2. Remove Managed Profiles If you are using a personal device: - **Sign Out of Managed Accounts:** If you’re logged into a browser using an account linked to your organization (e.g., a work email), sign out and then sign in with a personal account. - **Create a New User Profile:** Create a new user profile in the browser that is not linked to any organizational account. ### 3. Reset Browser Settings You can reset your browser settings, but this might not remove management policies: - **Google Chrome:** 1. Click on the three dots in the upper-right corner. 2. Go to **Settings** > **Reset settings** > **Restore settings to their original defaults**. - **Firefox:** 1. Click on the three bars in the upper-right corner. 2. Go to **Help** > **Troubleshooting Information**. 3. Click on **Refresh Firefox**. ### 4. Uninstall and Reinstall the Browser You can try uninstalling and reinstalling the browser: 1. **Uninstall the Browser:** Go to your operating system's settings and uninstall the browser from your device. 2. **Reinstall the Browser:** Download the latest version from the official website and install it. ### 5. Check for Local Group Policies (Windows) If you are comfortable using the Group Policy Editor (and if you are on a non-managed device): 1. Press **Windows + R**, type `gpedit.msc`, and press **Enter**. 2. Check under **User Configuration** and **Computer Configuration** for any policies that might be enforcing browser settings. 3. Reset or remove these policies (note: this is typically recommended for advanced users). ### 6. Registry Changes (Advanced Users) If you’re experienced with editing the registry: 1. Press **Windows + R**, type `regedit`, and press **Enter**. 2. Navigate to `HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies` or `HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Policies`. 3. Find and delete any keys related to the browser management settings. 4. **Caution:** Back up the registry before making any changes. ### 7. Use a Different Browser As a last resort, consider using a different browser that has not been managed by that organization. ### Important Note Proceed with caution, especially when making changes to policies or the registry. If the device is managed by an organization, it may be against your organization's policy to alter settings, and doing so may have consequences. Always check with your IT department beforehand.
