Browsing with Copilot Blocked URLs
Verified with Microsoft Edge 152.0.4191.53 — updated on July 10, 2026
Supported on: Microsoft Edge version 148, Windows 7 or later
Path in the GPO console
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge Description
Controls the list of URLs where browsing with Copilot is blocked. Users can't modify this list. Use this policy to define exceptions to broader allowlists. For example, you can set 'BrowsingWithCopilotAllowList' (Browsing with Copilot Allowed URLs) to '*' to allow all sites, and then use this policy to block access to specific URLs. This policy supports blocking by scheme, subdomain, or port. When multiple URL patterns apply, the most specific match determines whether access is allowed or blocked. Blocklist entries take precedence over allowlist entries. If you don't configure this policy, no exceptions are applied to 'BrowsingWithCopilotAllowList'. Browsing with Copilot supports only HTTP and HTTPS protocols. Wildcards (*) are supported, and subdomains are matched even without wildcards. URL matching is based on the site origin only; any path specified in the pattern is ignored. For information about URL pattern format, see https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2095322. Example value: https://www.contoso.com [*.]contoso.edu contoso.net login.contoso.us

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.
