Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/52.0 Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Download administrative templates for google chrome here: https://support.google.com/chrome/a/answer/187202 2. Unzip and install the appropriate ADMX and ADML to C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions 3. Use Microsoft Management Console to open group policy management console 4. Navigate to "computer configuration" - "administrative templates" - "google" 5. Notice there is no setting availabel to control the behavior of "use a web service to help resolve navigation errors" What is the expected behavior? In google chrome administrative templates for windows operating systems, a setting "use a web service to help resolve navigation errors" should be available to control the entire behavior of google chrome browser. What went wrong? Because of data privacy reasons it is necesarry to disable "use a web service to help resolve navigation errors" in our company. Did this work before? No Chrome version: 58.0.3029.110 Channel: stable OS Version: 6.1 (Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2) Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 25.0 r0

Matt, assigning to you for prioritization.

Just for clarification: In google chrome advanced settings there is an option called: "use a web service to help resolve navigation errors". I need a setting in the group policy (ideally a machine setting) to disable it, because of data privacy reasons. Thank you!

Matt owns this. Would wait on an answer from him. Removing Chrome OS folks. Adding Julian. Thanks!

Hi Maksim, Thank you for the ping. This is a feature request that we will consider for the future. No current plans to add this policy (in Q3). We can revisit in Q4 if priority increases. Thank you,

[ blumberg@: maybe the description/name for this policy should be updated? ] Seems like there's already a policy that controls this, but it's called "Enable alternate error pages". The resource string: https://cs.chromium.org/chromium/src/chrome/app/settings_strings.grdp?type=cs&l=2058 Is used in only one place: https://cs.chromium.org/search/?q=IDS_SETTINGS_LINKDOCTOR_PREF+-file:src/out&type=cs Following that leads to the setting page: https://cs.chromium.org/search/?q=linkDoctorPref+-file:src/out&type=cs https://cs.chromium.org/chromium/src/chrome/browser/resources/settings/privacy_page/privacy_page.html?type=cs&l=80 Which controls the alternate_error_pages.enabled preference. That preference has a matching policy: https://cs.chromium.org/chromium/src/chrome/test/data/policy/policy_test_cases.json?type=cs&sq=package:chromium&l=101 Policy: https://cs.chromium.org/chromium/src/components/policy/resources/policy_templates.json?type=cs&sq=package:chromium&l=716 Caption and/or description should probably be updated to reflect that this is in fact the "Use a web service to help resolve navigation errors" setting. I have verified that this actually controls the setting.

Hello macourteau, sorry for the late reply. I tested it and I also confirm that the setting "Enable alternate error pages" managed the setting for "Use a web service to help resolve navigation errors". I suggest to rename the group policy in a future update of chrome GPOs Thanks! Best Regards Rene

Hi Julian, When you have a minute, can you change the GPO name so this is more clear for admins?

Hello, do you have updated information regarding the GPO setting name topic? Thanks! Best Regards Rene

We usually don't rename policies unless there's a strong reason to. In this case, modifying the description should suffice. I'll find some time to do that soon.
