ChromeAppsWebViewPermissiveBehaviorAllowed

Restore permissive Chrome Apps webview behavior - ChromeAppsWebViewPermissiveBehaviorAllowed​

Chrome Apps `"webview"`` allows for behavior which is in the process of being removed from Google Chrome.

The previous behavior allows the "webview" newwindow event (https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/reference/webviewTag/#event-newwindow) to attach the new window to a "webview" element in a separate App window from the originating "webview". With the new behavior, this attachment is still allowed, however the window reference returned from the call to window.open in the originating "webview" is invalidated.

If enabled, the previous behavior is used. If disabled or unset, the behavior change takes effect as it is rolled out through the Google Chrome release process.

This policy is a temporary workaround in the event that enterprises experience breakage due to this change. This policy will be removed in version 122.

  • True = Restore permissive behavior.
  • False = Behavior changes may take effect depending on feature launch process.
