suppress "This site is trying to open" prompt
KrisSmith One of our engineering managers took a look at this and wanted you to give the following a try:
"Can you check out the following on an Edge canary build 82.0.425.0 or greater?

Settings this flag should you one step closer to having the prompt suppressed."
Please let us know if that does the trick for you!

Thank you,
This flag does what it claims and does indeed get us one step closer to what I want.
I would like to be able to pre define a list of sites that don't prompt for any filetypes.
I'd rather not let end users have the "dont prompt again" option as they don't all click responsibly 😉
I guess with this flag they would need to ok it for every site they visit.

KrisSmith I'm so glad to hear that it's getting closer to your desired state. And that's a great point; here's the team's answer.
"Yes, this is a fair ask and something we're discussing. But, in actuality, you will likely not have to do this too many times for the MS Office web apps, because the same origin is used by the web app regardless of the SharePoint site. So, it, in theory, should be one opt-in for Word, one for Excel, one for PowerPoint, one for Outlook, one for Teams, etc. So, a lot better than what it was, and hopefully not unmanageable while we explore other options."
I hope that helps clarify things, and please continue to give us feedback--either here or through the browser--about this. And if this solution doesn't work as intended, we'd love to know about that too.
Thanks,

Hi Deleted
Thanks for that update.
They are correct that there would not be many cases that need authorising so it would not be a big problem if they need doing on a per app basis.
I would like to be able to pre populate this though.
I realise this is experimental and not guaranteed to make it to the stable release but do you have any idea when (if) this could make it to the stable release?Kris
