Microsoft Edge › Edge Website Typo Protection settings
Configure the list of domains for which Microsoft Edge Website Typo Protection won't trigger warnings
Supported on Microsoft Edge version 121, Windows 7 or later
What it does
Configures the list of Microsoft Edge Website Typo Protection trusted domains. This means: Microsoft Edge Website Typo Protection won't check for potentially malicious typosquatting websites. If you enable this policy, Microsoft Edge Website Typo Protection trusts these domains. If you disable or don't set this policy, default Microsoft Edge Website Typo Protection protection is applied to all resources. This only takes effect when TyposquattingCheckerEnabled policy isn't set or is set to enabled. This policy is available only on Windows instances that are joined to a Microsoft Active Directory domain, Windows 10/11 Pro; or Enterprise instances that enrolled for device management; or macOS instances that are that are managed via MDM or joined to a domain via MCX. This policy doesn't apply if your organization has enabled Microsoft Defender for Endpoint. You must configure your allowlists and blocklists in Microsoft 365 Defender portal using Indicators (Settings > Endpoints > Indicators). Example value: mydomain.com myuniversity.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.
