Have you recently updated Chrome from an old (pre-73) version? In April, Chrome 73 introduced a change in behaviour which caused this message to suddenly appear to a lot of people, seemingly for no reason. Apparently, since 73, the "managed by your organization" message can now also be triggered by various browser policies introduced by extensions or other applications (e.g. LastPass or antivirus programs).– Disenchanted LurkerCommented Jun 25, 2019 at 11:42

In my case, it was actually an old empty key in my Windows registry, which triggered the behaviour after Chrome update (same one as in this question, if I remember correctly). Deleting it solved the issue. But since you are on Linux, it's going to be something else. I'd suggest starting with the article I linked.– Disenchanted LurkerCommented Jun 25, 2019 at 11:47

It could be because of LastPass.
Please check if you have lastpass-policy.json at
/etc/opt/chrome/policies/managed/
or
/etc/chromium/policies/managed/
Deleting it, solves the problem.
