How to Limit Edge to ONLY Specific Websites

Question

_{Tuesday, March 29, 2016 2:33 PM | 1 vote}

I have an employee workstation that's upgraded to Windows 10 Pro and joined to my domain. I have IE 11 configured to limit the browser to only the four or five very specific websites necessary for it to be able to do its job.  Currently, in IE 11's Internet Options, I've defined a dummy proxy server, and then specify ONLY the websites that the workstation can access.  To keep anyone from changing those settings I have those Internet Options pages removed via Group Policy on the server.  This has worked very well for some time, but now IE w/be phased out in favor of Edge, and I haven't been able to figure out how to obtain those limitations in Edge (nor Chrome or Firefox, for that matter).

Can anyone tell me how to accomplish that?

Hi Capt,

Currently it seems to be not available to block websites through Microsoft Edge.

By the way, the proxy settings should work on Microsoft Edge.

Some reference:

Available policies for Microsoft Edge

Hi, and thanks f"By the way, thor the reply.

Re: "By the way, the proxy settings should work on Microsoft Edge."

If I do that (i.e. 0.0.0.0), then is it possible to define the allowable URLs?  If so, how/where?  I've looked and can't find anywhere to do that.

Also I followed your link and bookmarked that page for future reference, however I didn't see a policy that does what I need, but I'll look again.  Thank you for that.****
