Hello, my Google Chrome has a new policy that's called ExtensionInstallForcelist, I have tried everything from going into my terminal, contacting Apple Support, going into all of my library folders, uninstalling and reinstalling Chrome, and I can not get it to go away. Please help!

Hello,
Follow these steps:
  1. Quit Google Chrome, then open a Terminal window. To do this, go to Finder > Go > Utilities > Terminal
  2. Enter the following commands, pressing enter after each line:
    • defaults write com.google.Chrome HomepageIsNewTabPage -bool false
    • defaults write com.google.Chrome NewTabPageLocation -string “https://www.google.com/”
    • defaults write com.google.Chrome HomepageLocation -string “https://www.google.com/”
    • defaults delete com.google.Chrome DefaultSearchProviderSearchURL
    • defaults delete com.google.Chrome DefaultSearchProviderNewTabURL
    • defaults delete com.google.Chrome DefaultSearchProviderName
    • defaults delete com.google.Chrome ExtensionInstallSources
  3. After running these commands, quit Chrome if you haven’t already done so, then launch it again and check chrome://policy to see if the same keys are still present (you may need to click the “Reload policies” button for changes to show up).
