Does anyone have an Json ready that can manage this setting?

    Since I don’t trust Google to not introduce new keys and retry enabling this junk, here’s a quick EA:

     

    #!/bin/bash

    currentUser=$(/usr/bin/stat -f%Su "/dev/console")
    currentUserHome=$(eval echo "~$currentUser")

    if [ -d "$currentUserHome/Library/Application\ Support/Google/Chrome/Default/OptGuideOnDeviceModel" ] ; then
        echo "<result>Installed</result>"
    else
        echo "<result>Not Installed</result>"
    fi
