Chromium Microsoft Edge supports insecure content blocking feature

Like most other browsers on the market, Chromium-based Microsoft Edge comes with rules that provide configuration permissions for every website we visit. Of course, for added convenience, we can also configure the same rules for all pages to ensure that the website’s access to files, webcam, microphone or other resources is handled properly. Recently, Microsoft added new permissions to the latest Canary release to further enhance the security we get when browsing the web. This feature is called “Insecure Content Blocking, ” which essentially prevents users from accessing content stored on websites that are considered insecure by Microsoft Edge. Needless to say, this feature helps improve online security for users.

This feature is currently in beta testing, so it is only available in the latest Chromium Microsoft Edge Canary. Also, it is not available to everyone, which means that it must be manually enabled by the user. Here’s how to enable it:

The first thing you need to do is update Microsoft Edge Canary to the latest version and then launch the application. Enter the following code in the address bar:

edge://flags

In the search input field at the top of the screen, type the following code to find the corresponding flag:

Blockable mixed content switch as site setting

You can also copy the path directly into the browser address bar:

edge://flags/#mixed-content-setting

Click the drop-down menu and select Enable settings. Next, we need to restart the browser to save the settings and make the settings effective.
