"Specifies a list of plugins that are enabled in Google Chrome and prevents users from changing this setting. The wildcard characters '*' and '?' can be used to match sequences of arbitrary characters. '*' matches an arbitrary number of characters while '?' specifies an optional single character, i.e. matches zero or one characters. The escape character is '\', so to match actual '*', '?', or '\' characters, you can put a '\' in front of them. The specified list of plugins is always used in Google Chrome if they are installed. The plugins are marked as enabled in 'about:plugins' and users cannot disable them. Note that this policy overrides both DisabledPlugins and DisabledPluginsExceptions. If this policy is left not set the user can disable any plugin installed on the system." - Google Chrome Administrators Policy List

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
