Version 147 introduced the Control the availability of the XSLT feature policy (XSLTEnabled). This policy exists to support enterprise testing and transition scenarios while the Chromium project works toward deprecating and removing XSLT support from the browser due to security concerns associated with this legacy feature. XSLT support in modern browsers represents a disproportionate attack surface, and upstream Chromium has announced plans to disable and ultimately remove XSLT in a future release. As a result, organizations should treat continued reliance on client‑side XSLT as technical debt and plan migration accordingly. Additional details can be found here. Organizations are encouraged to proactively test setting XSLTEnabled = Disabled to identify application dependencies and remediation requirements ahead of any future default changes or removal of the feature.

Allow software WebGL fallback using SwiftShader (Added) The EnableUnsafeSwiftShaderpolicy controls whether SwiftShader is used as a fallback for WebGL when hardware GPU acceleration is disabled or unavailable. SwiftShader, a software-based renderer, was used to enable WebGL support in environments lacking GPU acceleration, such as virtual machines. However, its continued use poses potential risks, whereby malicious web content could exploit vulnerabilities in the renderer. Due to the potential risks, we have decided to enforce the default and disable this setting. Edge for Business Connectors (Worth Mentioning) The new Edge for Business security connectors feature introduces a powerful framework that integrates the browser directly with your organization’s existing security stack covering authentication, data loss prevention (DLP), and reporting. By enabling real-time device trust validation, seamless DLP enforcement, and unified browser-based telemetry, these connectors help close critical gaps in enterprise security while extending the value of your current investments.
