If you disable this policy, the "Always allow" checkbox isn't displayed. The user is prompted for confirmation every time an external protocol is invoked. Prior to Microsoft Edge 83, if you don't configure this policy, the "Always allow" checkbox isn't displayed. The user is prompted for confirmation every time an external protocol is invoked. On Microsoft Edge 83, if you don't configure this policy, the checkbox visibility is controlled by the "Enable remembering protocol launch prompting preferences" flag in edge://flags As of Microsoft Edge 84, if you don't configure this policy, when an external protocol confirmation prompt is shown, the user can select "Always allow" to skip all future confirmation prompts for the protocol on this site.
