Description

OBSOLETE: This policy is obsolete and doesn't work after Microsoft Edge 123. Throttling of cross-origin frames that are display:none and nonvisible is a feature designed to make cross-process and same-process cross-origin frames consistent in their rendering behavior. For more information on cross-process vs. same-process throttling, see https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2239564. This enterprise policy allows administrators to control whether their users can turn on the additional throttling or not. If you enable or don't configure this policy, users can opt in to throttling. If you disable this policy, users can't enable throttling.
