Enable Standardized Browser Zoom Behavior

Computer and userIntune-readyStandardizedBrowserZoomEnabled

Supported on Microsoft Edge version 146, Windows 7 or later

155.0.4283.62

What it does

Configures whether the CSS "zoom" property follows the current CSS specification or legacy behavior. When this policy is enabled or not configured, the CSS "zoom" property follows the current specification defined by the CSS Working Group: https://drafts.csswg.org/css-viewport/#zoom-property When this policy is disabled, the CSS "zoom" property uses its legacy, pre-standardized behavior. This policy is temporary and is intended to provide time for organizations to migrate web content to the updated behavior. In a future Microsoft Edge release, this policy will be removed and the standardized behavior will be enforced by default.

The OMA-URI is an inferred ADMX-backed Policy CSP candidate derived from the source ADMX file name and policy name.
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.
