For instance, an administrator might disable a specific extension through a policy, making its icon appear grayed out for all users.
By visiting `edge://policy`, you gain direct insight into every active rule influencing your Edge browser. This is especially helpful if you’re experiencing unexpected behavior or disabled functionalities.
