Hi,
Just want to confirm the current situations.
If there's anything you'd like to know, don't hesitate to ask.

Use group policies to whitelist the browser(s) that are supported. Do not allow users to install new apps.
At the firewall or router block access to the site(s) you don't want to access, or vice versa. How you do that depends upon your firewall software or router hardware.
Hi,
To restrict the browser, we can use the group policy following:

Use AppLocker to prevent installing another browser or any other apps.
thanks all replies
If I don't have windows AD , all PC are workgroup , what can I do ?
Group Policy is available is available whether you're on a domain or not. For workgroup machines it is simply called Local Policy. The behavior is the same. The only downside is that you have to configure each machine.
Note that blocking websites is a network level change so this can be done at your router/gateway assuming you have a good one. You only need GP for blocking apps. But I question the benefit in going that far. If you only install the browser you want on the machine and you prevent users from installing programs then they cannot put another browser on the machine anyway. But even if they do have another browser you're still blocking the sites they can access.
I wonder if this is a POS-style system and perhaps Kiosk mode should be something you look into it. It might solve your problem better.
