Feature request: gpo to disable the game under "edge://surf"

Hi.

 

Since Microsoft Edge 82.* there is a offline game in the browser integrated. See here: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/discussions/dev-channel-update-to-82-0-432-3-is-live/m-p/1196870/highlight/true#M25274

 

In productive environments (companys) it is normally not wanted, that employees playing games at work. Could you please add a gpo to hide/disable this game.

  • htcfreek We are adding a policy to disable the edge://surf game in 82. It will be available in a future Dev release.

      Brian Altman my kids are playing this constantly while I'm trying to do home schooling. Is this available to home users to disable? Losing my mind and pass on my frustrations to the dev team.

    I manage Edge in a enterprise environment and see no such a big problem with this crap.
    It's unnecessary yes, but no a real problem.
    I am much more annoyed by the cloud sync stuff.

    Once again Microsoft seems to have no understanding of Enterprise needs. I Support your request.
