    Hi. How can I install Google Chrome only for my user in Windows 11? I do not want to install it for my kids. Thanks

    You could use a portable version of Chrome.

    Aside that any sane person wouldn't install chrome for anyone, not just for kids...

    Just move the installation folder from \program files to a folder in your home profile, and adjust the link to start it.

    A way better option would be to install a clean, safe, customizable chromium based browser like Vivaldi.

    It has the option to install it for all users or just for the current user during the initial setup phase.
