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

Greetings! We are now at Microsoft Edge Version 103.0.1264.44 which is working well for us. However, I am still setting the Background Sync disable and the Paymant Handler install disable MANUALLY, hoping that our users do not change this. Please push to get a GPO for these SECURITY items. Personally, I do NOT understand the thinking behind NOT getting these Security GPO's implemented ASAP!
