CHROME 155 TIGHTENS ENTERPRISE RESTRICTIONS ON POWERFUL EXTENSIONS

Summary from the TLDR IT newsletter

Starting with Chrome 155, extensions that use Chrome's powerful chrome.debugger API will be blocked from attaching when enterprise policies restrict host access, screenshots, or DLP-protected content. The change only affects managed browsers with those policies configured, but IT teams with internally developed or approved extensions should test ahead of the October 6 stable rollout because some extensions may stop working unless they move to more limited Chrome APIs.
