Abstract
Features are disclosed for facilitating remote management of browser add-ons on multiple user computing devices from a centralized add-on management system. A browser application on the user computing devices may include an integrated application programming interface that can be remotely accessed by the add-on management system. In some embodiments, a management add-on or some other object that is separate from or otherwise not integrated with the browsing application may be used to facilitate the remote management of add-ons. Management of add-ons may include permitting and/or blocking installation and/or execution of particular add-ons on a case-by-case basis. The determination may be based on user permissions, add-on characteristics, observed execution of add-ons, and the like.
