Chrome extension managed storage policy
Hi there, I've developed a chrome extension and now we want to deploy it using Intune. Force install of extension works great but I can't pass managed data to the extension. Here is the scheme: { "type": "object", "properties": { "apiKey": { "title": "API Key", "description": "An API key to communicate with server.", "type": "string" } } } This is the policy that I created in Intune: OMA-URI: ./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/Chrome~Policy~googlechrome~3rdparty~extensions~eagefwefpbjpewefliifpgfgoewfknnmk~policy Data type: String Value: {"apiKey":"mykey123"} But it doesn't appear in chrome://policy and when I get policies in my code with: const result = await chrome.storage.managed.get(null); The result is empty! What is the problem here? And how to fix it?
Edge Dev > Enterprise State Roaming / Sync Broke
I noted in Edge DEV my profile stopped syncing even though its set by policy to be on the journey took me to edge://settings/profiles/sync where turn on sync is presented - so i turn it on a confirm and cancel button appear as well as the expected other areas (but showing as off by policy???) hitting confirm just makes confirm and cancel disappear with no changes these are not new? what gives or is changing? is sync just broke in dev for now? Edge Beta and Stable are not impacted.
Starting Edge as a process immediately fires exited event
Hi! Recently I have encountered a rather annoying bug on Windows 11 IoT LTSC where I launch an edge as a process from my .net 9.0 C# code. I need to track Edge and if it exits for some reason I have to relaunch it. I'm tracking whether it has exited by subscribing to the Process.Exited event, but on the beforementioned operating system this event immediately fires even though the Edge itself visibly does not close and stays functional without any problem. This results in infinite edge processes getting launched, since every new instance also exits. Interestingly this issue does not occur when tested with other browsers nor it occurs on Windows 11 Pro, everything works completely fine in these two scenarios. I'm guessing IoT version has some kind of different power plan to reduce battery drainage and CPU usage if possible. My other assumption is that the msedge.exe available with default windows is just a parent process on the IoT version, and it just starts the actual processes needed to present the content of my web app. It'd be great if you could check this and come back to me. Thank you! Kind regards, Gallusz.Manifest V2/V3 timeline update?
Google/Chromium announced at the end of March that MV2 would be completely removed from Chrome in v139, meaning that v138 will be the last version that can run MV2 extensions even using the policy override. Since v139 is expected sometime in July, that time is coming up fast! In Microsoft's timeline, it is stated: Manifest V2 extensions will continue to be supported through Enterprise policies at least until the date in the Chromium Manifest V2 support timeline. Since Google will be removing it as of v139, can we expect the same for Edge? Just trying to plan out notification to some groups who use custom extensions (ie: from vendors or internally created) that they will see the older extensions be removed/disabled. Thank you!
Direct download link for Edge Policy Templates
Would it be possible to get a (semi) permanent/fixed URL link for the Microsoft Edge Policy Templates for Microsoft Windows (preferably 64-bit)? There are already "fwlink" direct download links for the latest releases of Microsoft Edge MSI x86/X64, e.g. http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2093437 for MicrosoftEdgeEnterpriseX64.msi Could we please get one for the MicrosoftEdgePolicyTemplates.cab? Currently, we have to go to the Microsoft Edge Enterprise landing page https://aka.ms/EdgeEnterprise and click through the link and agree to the download. A "fwlink" would enable direct download via PowerShell script, or just a single manual click. Thanks, Jonathan
Introduce use of paths and wildcards in Edge automatic profile switching
Having users with work accounts in different tenants I like to opt for the following feature requests on the automatic profile switching list in Edge: Give users the ability to use wildcards for website hosts. Any host within a domain will open the selected profile so it is not necessary to create and manage multiple websites on that list On the list allow paths in the website like https://login.microsoftonline.com/{tenantId} to automatically switch to the profile of the user that the tenant belongs toUsing FIDO2 with NFC Smartcards in Edge on Debian (this is a Linux distribution)
Some administrators prefer using Linux, Debian in this case. They are required to perform certain tasks on Microsoft's admin portals for Azure and M365, where 2FA is strictly enforced without exceptions. I experimented a bit but couldn't get it to work in Edge on Debian - the option to choose FIDO2 doesn't even appear. In Firefox on Debian, at least the option to choose FIDO2 is available in the login dialog. I'm using other apps on the same machine with NFC smart cards - everything works, but not Edge and Microsoft Entra. I found an article including compatibility tables for FIDO2 authentication with Microsoft Entra ID - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/authentication/concept-fido2-compatibility. Does anyone have an idea why Entra is generally only supported in Chrome on Linux and not in Edge? Any insights on NFC support for FIDO on Linux, feature timeline?
Edge Sync is not available for this account.
My Edge is saying "sync isn't available for this account" and it links me to this article. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-enterprise-sync I'm on Microsoft 365 Business Basic and it clearly says it is supported in the article, but also says: "Business Basic is supported, but some existing tenants need to be backfilled with the RMS_S_BASIC service plan needed by AIP. Customers can file a support request if they need to backfill a tenant." So, I open a ticket with Office365 and for some reason get an exchange engineer who clearly has no idea what is going on even though I linked him to the article. He points to: https://support.serviceshub.microsoft.com/supportforbusiness/create Now I have pay through the nose for support contract just to fix an Edge sync issue. Someone help me please 😞
