# Block URLs in Chrome on Mac devices

Choosing the Chrome browser on macOS comes with several advantages. Its clean and intuitive interface ensures a user-friendly experience, while its performance is optimized for the macOS environment. The browser's extensive library of extensions allows users to tailor their browsing experience to suit specific needs. Furthermore, Chrome's compatibility with Google services, such as Gmail and Google Drive, enhances productivity for those already embedded in the Google ecosystem, making it a popular choice among Mac device users seeking efficiency and versatility.

To make it easy for IT Admins to control website access on Chrome Browser on their managed Mac devices, the following Custom Payload helps to block access to listed websites and can be deployed to multiple devices remotely in one go.

1. Copy the contents below directly and add them to **Apple Configurations** > **Custom Configurations** for Mac, or click [**here**](https://cdn.document360.io/175c0eac-012f-4410-bdc5-ac60794f82d8/Images/Documentation/Chrome%20config%20for%20macOS.mobileconfig) to download the file and import it.
2. Follow our [**guide**](/docs/custom-configuration-ios-and-macos) on how to add the Custom Payload in the Apple Configurations & deploy it to devices.

3. In this Payload, please change the string placeholders with the URLs that you would like to restrict. For example,

```shell
<array>
	<string>https://www.google.com</string>
	<string>github.com</string>
</array>
```
4. On the device, quit the Chrome application if it was already open and re-launch it. Based on the payload, the listed websites (*e.g.,* [*https://www.google.com*](https://www.google.com)*,* [*github.com*](//github.com)) will be blocked. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/175c0eac-012f-4410-bdc5-ac60794f82d8/Images/Documentation/image-1700736990856.png)
