How to apply Edge profile INCLUDING search engine preferences and extensions?

[francis11]

This is really nice, shame though that it only shows a prompt to activate just one extension if multiple are defined, the rest have to be enabled manually on the addons screen.

Enabling multiple extensions without user interruption can be done in GPO.
If using Chrome browser the Chrome templates is needed.

I think if you add them there it restricts more being added within the browser?

I have settled on this way, its still far better than having to do it fully manually.

Only restriction so far is the extensions added in GPO can't be uninstalled without removing them again via GPO.

For Adguard thanks even not tested.
Do you have same trick for PopUpOff?

Probably uBlock Origin (& Privacy Badger) should be enough to not get any of what you're on about?

For anybody that can't "Manage extensions", loaded with address: edge://extensions/ 4 any reason, get the offline Micro$oft Edge installer: MicrosoftEdgeEnterpriseX64.msi && just right-click Install.

The two extensions are Privacy Badger, uBlock Origin & be vigilant (!) and beware of fakes... YouTube ads are non-existent - so they're losing revenue (by the $millions prolly!), and I wouldn't put ANYTHING past 'em. So, anyway, check Details, Extension options to add Filter lists all the way down to Regions, languages (I'm not using those); and activate the "Block CSP reports" checkbox, on the first page as well.

Now you got normal YouTube, without [all] the madness; that's it, pop-ups should be gone as well! =)

Long live the Queen, God Bless America!

Living in EU where all this Cookie sh*t popup is on every site visiting including Google and uTube.
It's easy to add Adguard and PopupOff via reg during install.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Edge\Extensions]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Edge\Extensions\pdffkfellgipmhklpdmokmckkkfcopbh]
"update_url"="https://edge.microsoft.com/extensionwebstorebase/v1/crx"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Edge\Extensions\elacdkdmimelpnkbccdanmnabhajdccm]
"update_url"="https://edge.microsoft.com/extensionwebstorebase/v1/crx"

Adguard is far better than uBlock Origin (tested) and PopupOff blocks even chat popups and so much more which can be managed by site visited.

I wanted to check on one of my PCs (I don't remember seeing them), but these registry keys are empty or don't exist
It must only be for the "stable" version
