Some security/privacy relevant edge settings written as a policy to the registry. This way all old and new profiles are affected and the affected settings are locked. They can't be changed in the profile settings gui (edge://settings) anymore. If some setting is not wanted, it has be commented out/removed from the script before running or .
The default is writing to HKLM
, which affects all users on the system but requires admin rights.
If changed to HKCU
, i.e. set hkx=HKCU
in Z.3, it affects only the current user and it doesn't require admin rights to run the script.
Some interesting settings are still missing.
$ baselinesettings.bat
BrowserCodeIntegritySetting
set to 2
might break some browser plugins.
"This policy controls the use of code integrity guard in the browser process, which only allows Microsoft signed binaries to load."
If so, setting it to 0
will solve the issue.
