Description

Setting the policy provides access to the listed URLs in Incognito mode. Use it to open exceptions to certain URL patterns defined in IncognitoModeUrlBlocklist, using the format specified at ( https://support.google.com/chrome/a?p=url_blocklist_filter_format ). If both this policy and IncognitoModeUrlBlocklist are set, the allowlist takes precedence. If a URL matches a pattern on the allowlist, it will be allowed. If it matches a pattern on the blocklist (but not the allowlist), it will be blocked. If a URL matches neither, the general URLBlocklist/URLAllowlist policies will be used as a fallback. If this policy is set and IncognitoModeUrlBlocklist is not, any URL not on the allowlist will be blocked in Incognito mode. If IncognitoModeAvailability is set to disallow (value 1), but this policy is configured, Incognito mode will be available only for the URLs matching the allowlist. Leaving the policy unset allows no exceptions to IncognitoModeUrlBlocklist and IncognitoModeAvailability. This policy only affects Incognito mode. To allow URLs for all user profiles, please use the URLAllowlist policy. Blanket host wildcards (i.e., "*" or "[*]") are not allowed; use the IncognitoModeAvailability policy to enable the feature globally. This policy is limited to 1000 entries. Example value: example.com https://ssl.server.com hosting.com/bad_path https://server:8080/path .exact.hostname.com file://* custom_scheme:* *
