Browser Settings

Set up common browser settings such as start pages, extensions, and login/password settings

Browser Settings

This component will force an array of settings related to Chrome and Edge internet browsers. It can set one or more start pages, Enable/Disable/Force login to Chrome and/or Edge browser, Disable saved passwords in browser (great if you supply a password manager), Disable browser notifications in windows (I had users that would allow websites to show notifications and they would show scareware notifications, so I disabled it), And finally force install some browser extensions as needed. If the browser is already open, the changes will not take effect till the next time the browser is opened.

This component will first check if you have specified any start pages. If so it will add them to HKLM:\software\policies\[Microsoft|Google]\[Edge|Chrome]\RestoreOnStartupURLs.

The component then sets the option you chose for ChromeLogin by editing HKLM:\software\policies\[Microsoft|Google]\[Edge|Chrome]\BrowserSignin

The component then sets the option you chose for DisableSavedPasswords in HKLM:\software\policies\[Microsoft|Google]\[Edge|Chrome]\PasswordManagerEnabled

Browser Notifications are set in HKLM:\software\policies\[Microsoft|Google]\[Edge|Chrome]\DefaultNotificationSetting

Finally the selected extension are added to HKLM:\software\policies\[Microsoft|Google]\[Edge|Chrome]\ExtensionInstallForcelist
