Setting the policy lets you set a list of URL patterns that specify sites that can't display images. Leaving the policy unset means DefaultImagesSetting applies for all sites, if it's set. If not, the user's personal setting applies. For detailed information on valid url patterns, please see https://chromeenterprise.google/policies/url-patterns. Wildcards, *, are allowed. Note that previously this policy was erroneously enabled on Android, but this functionality has never been fully supported on Android. Example value: https://www.example.com [*.]example.edu
Registry
HKLM
Software\Policies\Google\Chrome HKCU
Software\Policies\Google\Chrome Export Builder
BETAConfigure the state, scope and options, then generate .reg, PowerShell, Intune and SCCM outputs — or add the setting to a multi-setting collection.
These exports write the registry — this is not a managed GPO. ⓘ
Applying both scopes creates an ambiguous configuration (computer takes precedence over user). Only do this intentionally.
