Block Microsoft from running experiments in the Microsoft Edge browser
Browsers like Firefox, Chrome or Microsoft Edge come with built-in functionality to run experiments. Browser makers like Mozilla or Google may enable or disable features or changes in select browsers...
Nice article,
But what exactly is the different between the settings?
On a managed device "Retrieve configurations only" is the default, but what exactly does this mean?
And what is the difference with the full payload beeing downloaden?
If you follow the documentation, which states: "If you set this policy to "Retrieve configurations only" mode, only the configuration payload is delivered.", something is downloaded. But what is the impact?
And what is the impact of blocking the full communication with the Experimentation and Configuration Service?
Is there somewhere documented what is being pushed, what the impact is and what you miss out if it isn't pushed?
- Hi,
the impact should be on the browser side not receiving new features that are part of the controlled feature rollout. but if you are using stable channel of Edge, you should be fine since experiments happen in non stable channels
