Per-browser launch blocks - pick which browsers users may run, where a supported blocking mechanism exists on the OS.

Blocks Chrome so it fails to launch from the taskbar, Start menu or any link. Windows already open keep running until closed - pair with Close All Browsers for instant effect. Applies where the supported blocking mechanism exists on the device's OS and edition; confirm the verified outcome before relying on it.
Blocks Edge so it fails to launch. Edge is the default browser on Windows 10 and 11, so blocking it without setting another default leaves users with no browser unless one is allowed. Applies where the supported blocking mechanism exists on the device's OS and edition; confirm the verified outcome before relying on it.
Blocks Firefox so it fails to launch. Firefox is the only mainstream non-Chromium browser, so blocking it closes the last gap around Chrome and Edge policies. Applies where the supported blocking mechanism exists on the device's OS and edition; confirm the verified outcome before relying on it.
Blocks Brave so it fails to launch. Because most Chrome enterprise policies (Incognito, Extensions, Developer Tools) don't apply to Brave, blocking it outright is often the only reliable control. Applies where the supported blocking mechanism exists on the device's OS and edition; confirm the verified outcome before relying on it.
Blocks Opera so it fails to launch. Opera ships with a built-in VPN that can bypass the 'Disable VPN' control, so blocking the browser outright is the only complete fix. Applies where the supported blocking mechanism exists on the device's OS and edition; confirm the verified outcome before relying on it.
Blocks Internet Explorer. IE has been retired by Microsoft and replaced by Edge's IE Mode - only legacy intranet apps still need it, so this block is safe on most fleets. Applies where the supported blocking mechanism exists on the device's OS and edition; confirm the verified outcome before relying on it.
