Blocking some web browsers is possible in squid proxy server. Squid can block all the requests from web browsers like Internet explorer, Chrome, Firefox, etc.
Create an “acl” with the bad web browser types and finaly deny the access. Add all the below configurations to the Squid server configuration file “/etc/squid/squid.conf”.
[root@server ~#]vim /etc/squid/squid.conf |
#Block Chrome in squid proxy
