EDGE: Where is policy for 'allow recently closed sites to finish sending and receiving data'

In the browser under Under Settings -> Site Permissions -> Background sync ... is a switch that I want to control with group policy, but can't find it.

JonJF Thanks for reaching out. I've passed this on to our Enterprise settings team and will let you know if they have any insights.

    Still waiting ... . Settings it via edge://settings/content/backgroundSync is tiresome.

         JonF and his Team need to create a GPO so that our domain settings can force "Don't allow recently closed sites to finish sending and receiving data" behaviour.  Right now, I have to turn that setting off manually when I create a new user, hoping that they won't play with this setting.

         ALSO, we need a GPO to prohibit sites from installing Paymnet Handlers.  These two items are SECURITY issues and I do not understand why they have not been addressed.  "Don't allow sites to install payment handlers" also needs to be a GPO for Microsoft Edge (or any of the Chromium-derived web browsers) ASAP!  As of Version 99.0.1150.46 these GPO's still have NOT been implemented.

       

      Let's get these security issue GPO's addressed PLEASE.

        ChevITGuy JonJF TairikuOkami Hi! I see the team has it on their radar to add the policies for Background sync and Payment handlers.  I currently do not see any ETA but I have passed on the feedback and we can follow up with any updates.  Thanks!
