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.

    Yes thanks for reaching out and letting us know you are looking for a policy to control this setting. There is not a policy to set this right now. We will take your feedback into the team and evaluate if this is something we can add.

    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.
