Enables component updates for all components in Google Chrome when not set or set to enabled.
If set to disabled, updates to components are disabled. However, some components are exempt from this policy: updates to any component that does not contain executable code, or does not significantly alter the behavior of the browser, or is critical for its security will not be disabled.
Examples of such components include the certificate revocation lists and Safe Browsing data.
See https://developers.google.com/safe-browsing for more info on Safe Browsing.
Please note that setting this policy to disabled can potentially prevent the Google Chrome developers from providing critical security fixes in a timely manner and is thus not recommended.
