amber-theme-colour.json.sample
Automatically generated theme colour based on “amber”
(#ffb700), it looks kind of fancy, but doesn’t feel like
it’s for me.
aminda-extensions.json
As I cannot separate the keys to multiple files I am forced to keep
them in one and separate by what the file does,
aminda-extensions.json is unlikely to overlap with someone
else.
Changing normal_installed to
force_installed would also prevent uninstallation.
This does contain some bloat or something not necessary in all
situations or even overlapping extensions, but there is an important
side goal of teaching users to disable extraneous extensions they
don’t need (unless I decide they do need something and thus it’s
force_installed.
Explanations have moved to
aminda-extensions.tsv!
black-theme-colour.json.sample
Sets the theme colour as black. This is managed instead of recommended, because even the recommended policy seems to block theme changing.
.sample suffix is there so maybe I will stop applying
this policy and thus disabling GTK/Qt themes.
brave-shields-disabled.json
Allowlist for sites where I think Brave Shields may be breaking
things. Similar is also in aminda-extensions.json for
Privacy Badger.
disable-brave-ipfs.json
Disables Brave integrated IPFS node.
disable-brave-rewards-wallet.json
Disables Brave rewards and wallet.
disable-brave-tor.json
Disables Tor in Brave as I recommend using Tor Browser instead.
disable-brave-vpn.json
Disables Brave VPN, which is the most annoying feature that has group policy that I can see.
disable-floc.json
Disables floc or ad topics that are against privacy.
doh-adguard-dns0.json
dph-adguard.json
doh-adguard-unfiltered.json
doh-cloudflare-secure.json
Sets Cloudflare with malware protection as the forced DNS-over-HTTPS server.
doh-disabled
doh-dns0.json
Simply forces DNS-over-HTTPS with DNS0.eu.
doh-dns0-kids.json
doh-dns0-open.json
doh-dns0-zero.json
doh-google64.json
doh-google.json
doh-mullvad-base.json
Forces DNS-over-HTTPS with Mullvad Base, which features ad, malware & tracker blocking.
doh-quad9-ecs.json
Forces DNS over HTTPS with Quad9 ECS enabled threat-blocking server and also contains their alternative port.
doh-quad9.json
Forces DNS over HTTPS with Quad9 threat-blocking server and also contains their alternative port.
doh-unlocked-unset.json
Allows configuring DoH even with managed policies present (unless another DoH rule is in force) since enabling any managed policy will otherwise gray out the option.
If no DNS over HTTPS policy is used, this unlocks the setting. Enabling managed policies disable it by default.
My other doh-*.json set this as well, because
secure doesn’t allow downgrade to system resolver and
Chromium seems somewhat unreliable with it often reporting
DNS_PROBE_POSSIBLE and while this occassionally disables
ECH, it works and my system resolvers are encrypted. I hope they will
implement ECH with system resolver soon to fix this.
edge-appsfavorites.json
Edge apps in favorites bar.
edge-newtabapps.json
Should enable apps in new tab page, although I am not seeing it.
edge-screenshots.json
Explicitly enables screenshotting-
enable-chromecast.json
Explicitly enables Chromecast support.
enable-labs.json
Enables the beaker button “Experiments” for easier management than
about:flags.
enable-passwordleakdetection.json
Warns about password reuse, although that may only be with Google account.
enable-tab-suspend.json
Enables the efficiency mode which suspends background tabs.
fix-edge-search.json
Tells Microsoft Edge to redirect queries from new tab search box to URL bar effectively forcing it to respect user configured search engine instead of stealthily sending those queries to Bing.
generative-ai.json
Allows using the AI features that I am not seeing anyway, but won’t send data back to Google about them.
https-everywhere.json
This file evolved to merge another one, so now it:
- Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP), and Certivicate Revokation List (CRL) checks.
- Enables Encrypted Client-Hello (ECH), which however requires DNS-Over-HTTPS to be used.
- Forces HTTPS-only mode to be enabled.
- Attempts to upgrade
http://queries tohttps://
prefetch.json
Enables prefetching. Will make sites very speedy, but decreases privacy and may conflict with uBlock Origin. However AdNauseam is already clicking those ads, so maybe it’s not that big of an issue.
profilemanager.json
Forces the profile screen even with only one profile. I love the feature in Firefox and want to see it here too, now that I accidentally noticed it.
