In this article, we will talk about a scary issue in Google Chrome. Many users encountered the “Managed by your organization” message in Google Chrome when they opened the 3-dots menu.

One user reported the following on the official forum:

So this message popped up last week on all my google chrome’s for no reason. I have not made any changes, im still logged in with the same account as i have been for 5 years, and this hasn’t happened before. It is a totally normal @gmail account, so this “Your browser is managed by your organization” message creeps me out. How do i get rid of it / fix it?

So, the user didn’t make any changes and has had the same account for 5 years. This is a very creepy problem and today we will show you how to solve the issue.
