Wait, what is this new setting in Edge? Is Edge trying to save me from downloading potentially unwanted apps, such as toolbar/adware? Why, yes it is! What used to be a enterprise Windows Defender Antivirus feature is making its way to consumers. Now in beta.

Very interesting. And welcome.
Although I'm a little confused by the language. Is this an implementation of app reputation blocking (meaning any binary with low/no app reputation is blocked) or a more traditional feature that just blocks known PUAs?

Huh. My experience w/ the new Edge is that it's just Chrome with a different coat of paint on it. I didn't notice that toggle.

How is this different than Chrome Safe Browsing/DownloadRestrictions settings?
