ExtensionInstallSources

Configure extension, app, and user script install sources

Supported on:

• Chrome (Windows) since version 21

Description:

Setting the policy specifies which URLs may install extensions, apps, and themes. Before Samsung Browser 21, users could click on a link to a *.crx file, and Samsung Browser would offer to install the file after a few warnings. Afterwards, such files must be downloaded and dragged to the Samsung Browser settings page. This setting allows specific URLs to have the old, easier installation flow.

Each item in this list is an extension-style match pattern. Users can easily install items from any URL that matches an item in this list. Both the location of the *.crx file and the page where the download is started from (the referrer) must be allowed by these patterns.

ExtensionInstallBlocklist takes precedence over this policy. That is, an extension on the blocklist won't be installed, even if it happens from a site on this list.

Note: This policy only applies to platforms that support extensions.

Supported features:

• Applied to browser without restart. Note that some ongoing tasks may not be affected.
• Applied at Samsung Browser profile level.
