I don't recommend turning SmartScreen off completely because it is helpful in preventing you from downloading a malicious file or app, but you can disable it in Microsoft's Edge browser if you want to override its protection and go ahead and download a file it doesn't recognize. On some occasions, however, you may find SmartScreen overstepping its bounds and blocking you from downloading a file you know to be safe. PSS WebView provides starting WebView with flags, but it seems for now Chromium/Edge doesn't have a download directory flag.One of the ways Windows Defender keeps your computer safe from internet evils is by employing its SmartScreen tool to keep you from downloading potentially harmful files or visiting malicious sites. PS It seems permissions can be handled with CoreWebView2.permissionRequested event. Also WebUSB could have interesting use cases. This inevitable scenario could be predicted and fixed in advance with white listing of the website/URL. The user shouldn't be obliged to click "I allow web browser to use my camera.".

For whatever reason this functionality must be provided in the context of a native app. Kind of a context to CoreWebView2Environment, specifying the web browser setup in which users data and actions are streamlined.Īn example of this could be online know-your-customer video ID verfication service which only supports web based solutions. Would make experience more seamless for user. either on/off or whitelist/blacklist of URLs. Would be nice if permissions could be programmatically set.
