What’s new in 2402.1

Compatible with Google ChromeOS v121

  • Short name for store URLs Previously, you were able to see the store URLs, but there was no provision for IT administrators or end users to add or modify the store names. This arrangement made it difficult for the administrators and users to remember the store URLs. Starting with the 2402.1 release, for managed users, administrators can push a custom store name along with the store URL from Google Admin Console. This feature makes it easier for users to identify the different stores. Additionally, the administrator can decide if the user can edit the store name or not by setting the attribute allowEditStoreName to true or false. For BYOD users, the store name is auto-generated. For example, Store, Store 1, Store 2, and so on. The stores are discovered using the email-based store discovery feature. Users can edit the store name as required.

Fixed issue in 2402.1

Access websites blocked in your country, company, or school with Hola. Hola is free and easy to use!

You do NOT need to sign up or open a Hola account for most sites - just add to Chrome and start using. Hola enables you to access websites blocked or censored in your country with its unique and fast tunneling technology.

The Hola extension works 100% standalone. It does not link to, nor encourage the download of any other products and is fully functional as is, without requiring any additional download.

The free version unblocks most websites for a limited period of time. To unblock all websites with no time limits, sign-up and subscribe to Hola Premium - you don't need to install anything!

Hola requires the following permissions:

  • Proxy: Let Hola extension proxy your traffic through a server in another country to change your IP and unblock restricted sites. Why? This is the basic requirement for unblocking a website.

  • AllHosts/WebRequest/WebRequestBlocking: Let Hola extension check every web request and modify it. Why? Hola is the fastest unblocker because it uses split-tunneling technology to only proxy the minimum number of web requests needed to unblock a site - and only when necessary.
