There is a link at the top of my settings page that states my browser is being managed by my organization. This is my personal computer. There is no organization. What does it mean?

It means that a policy has been created, possibly by security software. If you delete it, it will probably be re-created so your best course may be to amend it. You will see it if you enter about:policies in the address bar.

You can click the "Your browser is being managed by your organization" notification or open the about:policies page to see if policies are active and if errors are reported.
