How to Block Browser for a Specific User Using Group Policy and AppLocker?

Trying to prevent a specific user from using a browser, I decided to test by blocking Google Chrome, later I intend to do this for other browsers.

As an administrator, in the Windows Group Policy Editor, I followed this path:Computer Configuration -> Windows Settings -> Security Settings -> Application Control Policies -> AppLocker.I right-clicked on Executable Rules, selected Create New Rule...

I followed the wizard to create a rule that denies access to the Google Chrome executable chrome.exe by publisher.Then, I logged in with the user for whom I set the rule, but I was still able to access Chrome as usual. I tried creating the rule by path, by file hash, but nothing worked; the user continues to open Chrome normally. I tried to force an update of the rules using the command gpupdate /force, but nothing worked. The user is still able to access Chrome normally.

Does anyone have any suggestions or solutions for this issue?
