Approved and Unapproved Web Browser Extensions

Question

Which extensions for standard web browsers used at GRCC are approved and unapproved for installation on college Windows devices?

Note: Inclusion on this list should not be considered indicative of a service's approval status through other channels (e.g., desktop app, website, etc.).

Environment

  • Google Chrome
  • Mozilla Firefox
  • Windows

Answer

Note: Currently, extensions from the Chrome Web Store can not be added while signed in to Google Chrome using your GRCC Google account due to global age settings enforced by Google (opens in a new window). You will need to log out of your Google Account, navigate to Google.com, select your profile picture, and sign out. Then, install the approved extension and log back in to your Google Account.
