Security concern on Chrome.

[JayCeeDee]

I just noticed there was an update available for Chrome – my main browser.
Before actually updating, I clicked the settings icon and noticed at the bottom of the drop-down box there was a new ( well not noticed before ) option telling me my browser is managed. I clicked it and got this :-

Your browser is managed
Your administrator can change your browser setup remotely. Activity on this device may also be managed outside of Chrome. Learn more

Why would this be needed on a standalone PC?
Does it leave you vulnerable at all?? TIA

Sounds as though you do the sensible thing – you manage your account in an Administrator account, but you have another low level account which you use normally and where necessary ‘use as Administrator’ and slot in a password.
