Description |
---|
The "SitePerProcess" policy can be used to prevent users from opting out of the default behavior of isolating all sites. The "IsolateOrigins" policy can be used to isolate additional, finer-grained origins. Enabling this policy prevents users from opting out of the default behavior where each site runs in its own process. If this policy is not disabled or configured, a user can opt out of site isolation (e.g., by using "Disable site isolation" entry in edge://flags.) Disabling the policy or not configuring the policy does not turn off Site Isolation. |

Use the Windows Registry Editor to navigate to the following key: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge If the value for "SitePerProcess" is not set to "REG_DWORD = 1", this is a finding. |
