Understand the distinction between removing and disabling Chrome on Android devices using Citrix Endpoint Management.
When Chrome is disabled on Android devices using Citrix Endpoint Management, it doesn't entirely remove the application but restricts its functionality. This approach is preferred for several reasons:
Security: Disabling Chrome ensures that critical files related to security, including WebView, remain intact. WebView is a vital component used by various apps for rendering web content securely. Removing Chrome could disrupt WebView and potentially leave the device vulnerable.
App Compatibility: Many Android apps depend on WebView to display web content within the app interface. Removing Chrome might break the functionality of these apps, leading to compatibility issues.
User Experience: Disabling Chrome preserves the user's ability to use other apps and services that rely on WebView while preventing them from using the Chrome browser itself.
