      [removed: Specifies whether users can let Google Chrome use Generative AI to better understand forms and help them fill more fields. 0 = Has the same effect as 1. Before M153, the setting allowed Google to use relevant data to improve its AI models. Relevant data may include prompts, inputs, outputs, source materials, and written feedback, depending on the feature. 0 is the default value, except when noted below. 1 = Allow the feature to be used, but does not allow Google to improve models using relevant data (including prompts, inputs, outputs, source materials, and written feedback). 1 is the default value for Enterprise users managed by Google Admin console and for Education accounts managed by Google Workspace. 2 = Do not allow the feature.

      This policy [removed: controls whether active WebSocket connections are disconnected when a page enters back/forward cache. Active WebSocket connections previously prevented a page from being stored in back/forward cache, but Google Chrome has changed this behavior to disconnect the WebSockets instead, allowing the page to be cached and restoring it in a disconnected state. If this policy ]is [removed: set to Enabled or left unset, WebSockets are disconnected when a page enters back/forward cache. If this policy ][added: deprecated. Its usage ]is [removed: set to Disabled, WebSockets will not be disconnected when a page enters back/forward cache. Since back/forward cache does not support active WebSockets, this means pages with active WebSockets will not be cached. This policy is intended to be temporary and will be removed in the future.][added: discouraged. Read more at https://support.google.com/chrome/a/answer/7643500]
