Block all sites by device.

Reported by adaugh...@treutlen.k12.ga.us, Aug 2 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/59.0.3071.115 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Like to block all websites on a device except the web sites that are needed. 
2. Block by the device and not the user. 
3. To limit use not dependent on the user. 

What is the expected behavior?
See above.

What went wrong?
Nothing

Chrome version: 59.0.3071.115  Channel: n/a
OS Version: 6.1 (Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2)

This functionality might be more similar to what the enterprise policy or supervised users features do? I don't think there's a way to block a site using Chrome via site settings. You could also try an extension to do this, but that would be easily removed by the user - it depends whether you need to enforce this or not.

Via enterprise policy, see 'URL blacklisting' https://support.google.com/chrome/a/answer/2657289?hl=en
Via supervised users, see 'Block all websites, with a few exceptions' https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/3463947?hl=en

Enterprise policy is probably the most locked-down way to do this with Chrome, but probably also the most difficult. This is assuming you want this feature for Chrome desktop - not sure what the story is with mobile. It's probably easier to block sites via other methods (like on the operating system).

I'll let epowers comment on whether this is in scope for Chrome as desktop PM.

I don't think this is an Enterprise feature, so I'll remove that component.

Putting myself in CC to follow progress in case I'm mistaken.

Yeah, it's not really clear to me what the context here is. Any user setting to block websites could be undone by the user, so it needs to be set via some other mechanism (enterprise or supervised users / Google Accounts for Kids). Enterprise policies are supported in some way or another on all platforms, including Android.

Hello Guys, do we have any update on this issue? I was able to reproduce it in a Chromebook in version 60.0.3112.114 and 61.0.3163.110

Hi Leonel, can you explain the feature request in a bit more detail?

Comment 7 by leonelf@google.com, Apr 16 2018

This feature was related to supervised users in Chromebooks, this option is not available anymore as per https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/3463947?hl=en
