MicrosoftEarly preview of Microsoft Edge group policies
Update July 22nd 2019:
Hey folks,
Thanks for all the great feedback! We announced last week that Edge is now ready for Enterprise evaluations.
You can find the latest ADMX files and MSIs/PKGs ...
Ruud van Velsen The policy wasn't ready when Sean shared the administrative template zip file. It will be in the next version we share.

MicrosoftThe feature isn't ready yet, but will be fully manageable via policy. It will be using the Enterprise Mode Site List (see link below for current IE11 documentation) to allow you to specify which URLs get IE mode and which don't (as well as "neutral" sites that stay in the mode of the preceding page, e.g. Auth sites)

Brian Altman thanks for the reply. As far as ad blocking, being able to add extensions will suffice! Favorite redirection may work already as part of folder redirection policies, it does for IE.
