Options

DefaultLocalFontsSetting enum
  • Denies the Local Fonts permission on all sites by default -> 2
  • Ask every time a site wants obtain the Local Fonts permission -> 3

Description

Setting the policy to BlockLocalFonts (value 2) automatically denies the local fonts permission to sites by default. This will limit the ability of sites to see information about local fonts. Setting the policy to AskLocalFonts (value 3) will prompt the user when the local fonts permission is requested by default. If users allow the permission, it will extend the ability of sites to see information about local fonts. Leaving the policy unset means the default behavior applies which is to prompt the user, but users can change this setting
