There seems to be some interference with other similar settings. If I set, for example, DefaultJavaScriptJitSettings to BlockJavaScriptJit, it also switches from Balanced to Strict in the Security sections of Preferences .

But how does this fit with the policy EnhanceSecurityMode?
Is this one then doing additional stuff to disabling JIT?
But in the preferences menu it looks the same. So, as a user i can not distinguish from which policy the Strict mode in the Security section of settings comes. Either EnhanceSecurityMode or DefaultJavaScriptJitSetting.- Kelly_Y
Johannes Goerlich Setting the EnhanceSecurityMode policy to Strict mode or setting the DefaultJavaScriptJitSetting policy to BlockJavaScriptJit will have the same effect by changing the Enhance your security on the web setting (edge://settings/privacy) to Strict.
