Release Date: May 23rd, 2025
Major Features:
- Support for Web Extensions in Silo for Research
- Silo defaults to blocking users from installing any web extensions, keeping administrators in control
- Easily install your favorite Chrome extensions: if enabled by an administrator, users can quickly and easily install extensions right from the Chrome Web Store just like any other browser
- Powerful policy options: the Admin Console now includes the ability to block specific extensions (“blocklist”), permit only certain extensions (“allowlist”), or even pre-install your choice of extensions to all users within a given organization — without needing to give users the ability to install extensions on their own
- Security & isolation: just like websites visited in Silo, web extensions are executed in a secure, isolated cloud environment
- Robust logging: administrators can monitor web extension installation or removal events with the new log types added to the Silo Admin Console
Additional Notes: Web Extension and the Silo Deny List Maintenance Program
