I am not sure if there is an GPO for this. But you can set the default page to google.com. when you do this the welcome page doesn't come up.

Is the homepage set correctly? And did you do this via Group Policy? If you've listed that site in the allow list, you *shouldn't* have issues.

Hello, <br />
<br />
I setup a GPO for Chrome. &nbsp;Everything is good except that when I launch the browser, the first tag is not my default webpage. &nbsp;I put an * in Block access to a list of URLs to block all websites except for list of &quot;Allow access to a list of URLs&quot;. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
The welcome page is being hit and blocked. &nbsp;Please see the attached. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
How do I disable the welcome page to be bypass when I open up Chrome?<br />
<br />
Also, how do I know my version of Chrome works in Group Policy?<br />
<br />
Many Thanks...<br />
