Thanks for your kind reply ; obviously, I wasn't aware ... Today, with more free time on my hands, I searched this further and it seems it was first removed in Chrome 65, then reinstated in Chrome 66, to be permanently removed, as you wrote, in Chrome 76 ; what a mess ; of course, all was done to cater to "user security", the usual "excuse" when useful features are being removed: Quote Remove --disable-infobars. This flag is no longer needed by the perf testing infrastructure and can be misused for malicious purposes, so remove it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yeah, I know their made-up excuses every time when they want to remove such features. A mess indeed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legacyfan Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 the best way forwards for chrome would probably be all the unofficial ports of chrome from @roytam1 and others that have contributed buildd for older windows versions that's probably the best way forwards from now on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UCyborg Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 roytam1 and Chrome. Should've saved it for 1st April. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on the Standard or Administrator account used Policies entered with HKCU also generate a "managed by organization" message. Example in Edge in my Standard account: I would advise all MSFN members who will be using Chrome in Widows 7 after support ends to strengthen browser policies: chrome://policy Example of policies that I put in my Edge: Edited December 15, 2022 by Sampei.Nihira 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legacyfan Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 so is there anyway to remove the end of support message? I'm still using chrome and don't want to run into any issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoltboy01 Posted December 16, 2022 Author Share Posted December 16, 2022 As of now, the freshly released first Chromium 111 Build seems to work on Windows 8.1 with the —no-sandbox hack as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KittyMaster Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Both HCKU & HKLM registry policies generate "Managed by organization" message which in turn disables features like "Secure DNS" So does anyone managed to suppress "Upgrade to Windows 10" nag and also removed "Managed by organization" message? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
