Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Google\Google Chrome User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Google\Google Chrome Description
Setting the policy to Enabled or leaving it unset means downloaded files are sent to be analyzed by Safe Browsing, even when it's from a trusted source. Setting the policy to Disabled means downloaded files won't be sent to be analyzed by Safe Browsing when it's from a trusted source. These restrictions apply to downloads triggered from webpage content, as well as the Download link menu option. These restrictions don't apply to the save or download of the currently displayed page or to saving as PDF from the printing options. On Microsoft® Windows®, this policy is only available on instances that are joined to a Microsoft® Active Directory® domain, joined to Microsoft® Azure® Active Directory® or enrolled in Chrome Enterprise Core.
Registry
Software\Policies\Google\Chrome Software\Policies\Google\Chrome Value name: SafeBrowsingForTrustedSourcesEnabled
Enabled: SafeBrowsingForTrustedSourcesEnabled = 1
Disabled: SafeBrowsingForTrustedSourcesEnabled = 0
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.
