Allow insecure content on these sites
Supported on Microsoft Windows 7 or later
Shown as of 157.0.8103.51, 9 Nov 2026. See it in the latest templates.
What it does
Allows you to set a list of url patterns that specify sites which are allowed to display blockable (i.e. active) mixed content (i.e. HTTP content on HTTPS sites) and for which optionally blockable mixed content upgrades will be disabled. If this policy is left not set blockable mixed content will be blocked and optionally blockable mixed content will be upgraded, and users will be allowed to set exceptions to allow it for specific sites. For detailed information on valid url patterns, please see https://chromeenterprise.google/policies/url-patterns. Wildcards, *, are allowed. Example value: https://www.example.com [*.]example.edu

- Some Microsoft policies use built-in Policy CSP pages whose area names don't match the ADMX file name, so verify the candidate against Microsoft Learn before deployment.
