      Whole description, marked

      Setting this policy controls extension management settings for Microsoft Edge, including those configured by other extension-related policies. This policy supersedes any legacy policies. This policy maps an extension ID or update URL to a specific configuration. You can define a default configuration using the special ID "*", which applies to extensions without a custom configuration. Note that any per-ID extension setting from either 'ExtensionInstallForcelist' (Control which extensions are installed silently), 'ExtensionInstallAllowlist' (Allow specific extensions to be installed), 'ExtensionInstallBlocklist' (Control which extensions cannot be installed), or 'ExtensionSettings' (Configure extension management settings) will only inherit 'installation_mode' and 'update_url' from the "*" defaults. It will not inherit any other properties. With an update URL, configuration applies to extensions with the exact update URL stated in the extension manifest. If the 'override_update_url' flag is set to true, the extension is installed and updated using the update URL specified in the 'ExtensionInstallForcelist' policy or in 'update_url' field in this policy. The flag 'override_update_url' is ignored if the 'update_url' is the Edge Add-ons website update URL. For more details, check out the detailed guide to ExtensionSettings policy available at https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2161555. To block extensions from a particular third party store, you only need to block the update_url for that store. For example, if you want to block extensions from Chrome Web Store, you can use the following JSON. {"update_url:https://clients2.google.com/service/update2/crx":{"installation_mode":"blocked"}} Note that you can still use 'ExtensionInstallForcelist' and 'ExtensionInstallAllowlist' to allow / force install specific extensions even if the store is blocked using the JSON in the previous example. If the 'sidebar_auto_open_blocked' flag is set to true in an extension's configuration, the hub-app (sidebar app) corresponding to the specified extension will be prevented from automatically opening. [added: As of Microsoft Edge version 154, applying 'runtime_blocked_hosts' to an extension with the 'debugger' permission will completely disable 'chrome.debugger.attach()' on all targets. ]On Windows instances, apps and extensions from outside the Microsoft Edge Add-ons website can only be forced installed if the instance is joined to a Microsoft Active Directory domain or joined to Microsoft Azure Active Directory®. On macOS instances, apps and extensions from outside the Microsoft Edge Add-ons website can only be force installed if the instance is managed via MDM, joined to a domain via MCX. Starting in Microsoft Edge version 149, the 'Microsoft365CopilotChatIconEnabled' (Control whether Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat shows in the Microsoft Edge for Business toolbar) policy controls the display of Copilot in the toolbar.

      Specifies IP address space overrides for Local Network Access restrictions. This policy allows administrators to treat specific IP address ranges as public (exempt from Local Network Access restrictions) or as local (subject to Local Network Access restrictions). IP address space overrides can be specified using one of the following formats: • [cidr]=[public|local|loopback] where [cidr] is an IP address range in CIDR notation. CIDR overrides apply to all ports. • [ip-address]:[port]=[public|local|loopback] IPv6 addresses must be specified in URL-safe (bracketed) format.

      This policy controls where developer tools can be used in Microsoft Edge by specifying an allowlist of URL patterns. URL patterns are matched against the URL of every frame on the page being inspected. If you configure this policy and do not configure the 'DeveloperToolsAvailabilityBlocklist' (List of URL patterns for which developer tools are blocked) policy, developer tools are available only when every frame on the page matches a pattern in this allowlist. If any frame does not match, developer tools are blocked for the entire page. For information on the URL format, see https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2095322 . If you configure both this policy and the 'DeveloperToolsAvailabilityBlocklist' policy, this allowlist takes precedence. URLs that match this allowlist are allowed even if they also match the blocklist. URLs that match the blocklist but not this allowlist are blocked. URLs that match neither are governed by the 'DeveloperToolsAvailability' (Control where developer tools can be used) policy. If you disable or do not configure this policy, developer tools availability is determined by the 'DeveloperToolsAvailabilityBlocklist' and 'DeveloperToolsAvailability' policies.

When a user selects the Translate icon and chooses a source (video language) and target language (translated language), translation components are downloaded on first use (approximately 200 MB per language pair). These components can be updated periodically to improve performance and translation quality. Translation is performed locally on the user’s device and no data is sent outside of the device.

There are multiple policies that control origins impacting requests to local device and local network endpoints. If an origin matches more than one of the following policies, the policies take precedence in the following order: - LocalNetworkBlockedForUrls - LocalNetworkAllowedForUrls - LoopbackNetwork[removed: Access]BlockedForUrls - LoopbackNetworkA[removed: ccessA]llowedForUrls - LocalNetworkAccessBlockedForUrls - LocalNetworkAccessAllowedForUrls For detailed information about valid URL pattern syntax, see: https://learn.microsoft.com/deployedge/edge-learnmore-ent-policy-url-patterns For more information about Local Network Access, see: https://wicg.github.io/local-network-access/ Note: This policy blocks specified public websites from accessing private IP addresses. It helps reduce exposure of internal network resources unless access is explicitly permitted by policy. Example value: http://www.example.com:8080 [*.]example.edu *

      This policy lets you specify the exact 4-part version of the WebView2 Runtime that specific applications should use in enterprise downgrade scenarios. Configure the policy by setting the value name to the Application User Model ID or the executable file name (for example, [added: ms-]teams.exe). Set the value to the target full version string using the 4-part numeric format (for example, 151.0.2178.0). Major-only values (for example, 151), wildcard values (for example, 151.*), and values that are not exact 4-part numeric versions are not supported. [added: Enterprise downgrade supports target versions from N-1 through N-4 relative to the current Evergreen WebView2 Runtime major version. ]The WebView2 loader resolves the runtime installation directory only when a folder that exactly matches the configured full version exists (for example, 151.0.2178.0 must match 151.0.2178.0 exactly). If no exact matching folder is found, the policy has no effect and the runtime defaults to the BrowserExecutableFolder policy or the Evergreen runtime (the default auto-updating runtime). Example value: Name: [added: ms-]teams.exe, Value: 151.0.2178.0 Name: o[removed: utloo][added: l]k.exe, Value: 152.0.2164.0

      Configure this policy to block access to specific categories of websites in Microsoft Edge on Windows devices. Web Content Filtering is available exclusively in Microsoft Edge on Windows and requires the appropriate Microsoft 365 licensing. When this policy is enabled, users are blocked from accessing URLs that fall within the defined list of content categories. You can configure this by adding Category Strings to the list of blocked categories. If the policy is not configured or is disabled, no categories will be blocked. To view the list of supported content categories, including each Category String and its definition, refer to: https://learn.microsoft.com/[removed: en-us/]defender-endpoint/web-content-filtering?view=o365-worldwide#category-definitions To block a specific URL outside of a category, use the “Block access to a list of URLs” policy. To allow a specific URL that falls under a blocked category, use the “Define a list of allowed URLs” policy.
