Edge Installation​

Cyberhaven’s Edge extension can be deployed and managed as a self‑hosted extension (Sensor 25.04+) or via the Edge Add‑ons Store (earlier sensors). See IDs/URLs in: Browser Extensions Prerequisites.

If issues are encountered please check the Browser Extensions Troubleshooting for information on how to troubleshoot.

Edge Installation on Windows (Sensor‑managed)​

  • The Windows Endpoint Sensor automatically installs, maintains, and updates the Edge extension.
  • Registry base key: HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge\ExtensionsSettings (created during Sensor install).
  • To manage Edge via GPO/Intune instead, contact Cyberhaven Support to disable Sensor‑managed updates for Edge; otherwise the Sensor will override manual policy changes to the Edge extension.

Install the latest Windows Sensor to keep the extension up‑to‑date: Installing the Windows Sensor

Edge Installation on macOS (Self‑hosted)​

  • Requires Cyberhaven MDM profile Cyberhaven.mobileconfig version 2.0.6.
  • The MDM profile force‑installs the extension and sets an override update URL (local update service).
  • No user action is required beyond deploying the MDM profile.

Example payload (self‑hosted):

After deployment, allow a few minutes for Edge to refresh policies. To force a refresh, visit edge://policy and click Reload Policies.

Edge Installation on macOS (Store‑hosted)​

If you manage Edge policies in your MDM and prefer store‑hosted deployment, configure the profile to force‑install the extension from the Edge Add‑ons Store.

Example payload (store‑hosted):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-/Apple/DTD PLIST 1.0/EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

    <array>
      <string>bljneopnmafooddcedbonipbofejklkj</string>
    </array>
  </dict>
</plist>
info

Note Ensure all settings required by are defined in the same configuration profile to avoid non‑deterministic behavior.

After deployment, allow a few minutes for Edge to refresh policies. To force a refresh, visit edge://policy and click Reload Policies. Confirm the extension under edge://extensions.

Installation Verification​

  • On endpoints, check edge://policy (Reload Policies) and edge://extensions for the Cyberhaven extension.
  • The extension auto‑updates; version tracking is not required.
