To avoid data loss or other unexpected errors this policy should not be set to a volume's root directory or to a directory used for other purposes, because Brave Browser manages its contents

Configures the cache size that Brave Browser will use for storing cached files on the disk. The value specified in this policy is not a hard boundary but rather a suggestion to the caching system, any value below a few megabytes is too small and will be rounded up to a sane minimum. If the value of this policy is 0, the default cache size will be used but the user will not be able to change it.

The consumer version of Safe Browsing real time lookup will be switched off.

Show an "Always open" checkbox in external protocol dialog.

If this policy is set to true, user has to sign in to Brave Browser with their profile before using the browser. And the default value of BrowserGuestModeEnabled will be set to false. Note that existing unsigned profiles will be locked and inaccessible after enabling this policy. For more information, see help center article. This policy is deprecated, consider using BrowserSignin instead.

If set to enabled this policy forces the profile to be switched to ephemeral mode.

If the policy is enabled, each of the named origins in a comma-separated list will run in its own process. This will also isolate origins named by subdomains; e.g. specifying https://example.com/ will also cause https://foo.example.com/ to be isolated as part of the https://example.com/ site. If the policy is disabled, no explicit Site Isolation will happen and field trials of IsolateOrigins and SitePerProcess will be disabled. Users will still be able to enable IsolateOrigins manually. If the policy is not configured, the user will be able to change this setting. On Brave Browser OS, it is recommended to also set the DeviceLoginScreenIsolateOrigins device policy to the same value. If the values specified by the two policies don't match, a delay may be incurred when entering a user session while the value specified by user policy is being applied.

This policy is deprecated, please use DefaultJavaScriptSetting instead. Can be used to disabled JavaScript in Brave Browser.

This policy controls access to controllable features in the local discovery UI (chrome://devices) which shows discoverable devices near the user as well as cloud devices registered to them. On all operating systems except for Brave Browser OS, the local discovery UI also allows users to add classic printers connected to their computers to Google Cloud Print.

This policy prevents the display of lookalike URL warnings on the sites listed. These warnings are typically shown on sites that Brave Browser believes might be trying to spoof another site the user is familiar with. If the policy is enabled and set to one or more domains, no lookalike warnings pages will be shown when the user visits pages on that domain.

The policy specifies a list of origins (URLs) or hostname patterns (such as "*.example.com") to be treated as secure contexts. The intent is to allow organizations to set up a staging server for internal web development, so that their developers can test out features requiring secure contexts without having to deploy TLS on the staging server. Setting a list of URLs in this policy has the same effect as setting the command-line flag '--unsafely-treat-insecure-origin-as-secure' to a comma-separated list of the same URLs. If the policy is set, it will override the command-line flag. For more information on secure contexts, see https://www.w3.org/TR/secure-contexts/

This settings enables or disables signin interception. When this policy not set or is set to True, the signin interception dialog triggers when a Google account is added on the web, and the user may benefit from moving this account to another (new or existing) profile. When this is set to False, the signin interception dialog does not trigger.

You might want to look at the IsolateOrigins policy setting to get the best of both worlds, isolation and limited impact for users, by using IsolateOrigins with a list of the sites you want to isolate. This setting, SitePerProcess, isolates all sites. If the policy is enabled, each site will run in its own process. If the policy is disabled, no explicit Site Isolation will happen and field trials of IsolateOrigins and SitePerProcess will be disabled. Users will still be able to enable SitePerProcess manually. If the policy is not configured, the user will be able to change this setting. On Brave Browser OS, it is recommended to also set the DeviceLoginScreenSitePerProcess device policy to the same value. If the values specified by the two policies don't match, a delay may be incurred when entering a user session while the value specified by user policy is being applied.

Brave Browser can use a Google web service to help resolve spelling errors. If this setting is enabled, then this service is always used. If this setting is disabled, then this service is never used.

If this policy is not set or enabled, the user is allowed to use spellcheck.

This policy controls the treatment for mixed content (HTTP content in HTTPS sites) in the browser. If the policy is set to true or unset, audio and video mixed content will be autoupgraded to HTTPS (i.e. the URL will be rewritten as HTTPS, without a fallback if the resource is not available over HTTPS) and a 'Not Secure' warning will be shown in the URL bar for image mixed content. If the policy is set to false, autoupgrades will be disabled for audio and video, and no warning will be shown for images. This policy does not affect other types of mixed content other than audio, video, and images. This policy will no longer take effect starting in Chromium 84.

Suppresses the warning that appears when Brave Browser is running on a computer or operating system that is no longer supported.

Disables data synchronization in Brave Browser using Google-hosted synchronization services and prevents users from changing this setting.

If this policy is set, all specified data types will be excluded from synchronization both for Google Sync as well as for roaming profile synchronization.

Enable a TLS 1.3 security feature for local trust anchors. This policy controls a security feature in TLS 1.3 which protects connections against downgrade attacks. It is backwards-compatible and will not affect connections to compliant TLS 1.2 servers or proxies. However, older versions of some TLS-intercepting proxies have an implementation flaw which causes them to be incompatible.

Setting the policy to Disabled allows popups targeting _blank to access (via JavaScript) the page that requested to open the popup. Setting the policy to Enabled or leaving it unset causes the window.opener property to be set to null unless the anchor specifies rel="opener".

If set to false, the 'End process' button is disabled in the Task Manager.

If enabled or not configured (default), the user will be prompted for video capture access except for URLs configured in the VideoCaptureAllowedUrls list which will be granted access without prompting.

f enabled, WebRTC peer connections can downgrade to obsolete versions of the TLS/DTLS (DTLS 1.0, TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1) protocols. When this policy is disabled or not set, these TLS/DTLS versions are disabled.

If the policy is set to true, Brave Browser is allowed to collect WebRTC event logs from Google services (e.g. Google Meet), and upload those logs to Google.

Patterns in this list will be matched against the security origin of the requesting URL. If a match is found or chrome://flags/#enable-webrtc-hide-local-ips-with-mdns is Disabled, the local IP addresses are shown in WebRTC ICE candidates. Otherwise, local IP addresses are concealed with mDNS hostnames.

If the policy is set, the UDP port range used by WebRTC is restricted to the specified port interval (endpoints included).

Allows you to specify which native messaging hosts that should not be loaded. A blacklist value of '*' means all native messaging hosts are denied unless they are explicitly listed in the allowlist.

The remote access host will not start if the name of the host owner is different from the name of the local user that the host is associated with.
