System-wide installation of Adblock Plus for Google Chrome

Installing Adblock Plus for Chrome as an administrator

This document describes how to install Adblock Plus for Google Chrome.

Chrome recommends the use of group policies for large scale deployments. For group policy installation instructions, please refer to the official Chromium Projects documentation.

Disabling the first-run page

Adblock Plus can be configured by extension policies to suppress the first-run page.

On Windows instances that are joined to an Active Directory domain, the first-run page can be disabled with following registry file:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKLM\Software\Policies\Google\Chrome\3rdparty\extensions\cfhdojbkjhnklbpkdaibdccddilifddb\policy]
"suppress_first_run_page" = dword:0000001

Note that for Chromium, the registry key differs:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKLM\Software\Policies\Chromium\3rdparty\extensions\cfhdojbkjhnklbpkdaibdccddilifddb\policy]
"suppress_first_run_page" = dword:0000001

On Linux, the first-run page can be disabled with a JSON file in:

/etc/opt/chrome/policies/managed/ or /etc/chromium/policies/managed/

{
  "3rdparty": {
    "extensions": {
      "cfhdojbkjhnklbpkdaibdccddilifddb": {
        "suppress_first_run_page": true
      }
    }
  }
}

For more information on configuring Chrome extensions by policy and instructions for OS X and Chrome OS, please refer to the official Chromium Projects documentation.

Hello.

If I use this JSON in JSON Politics in my G Suite, will it work?
