Description

Use a dedicated Windows Registry policy path (Software\Policies\\ungoogled-chromium) instead of sharing with Chromium

Who's implementing?

  • I'm willing to implement this feature myself

The problem

On Windows, ungoogled-chromium currently reads policies from the registry path Software\Policies\Chromium. This causes policy conflicts when other Chromium-based browsers are installed on the same system, as they share the exact same registry hive path.

Possible solutions

Could ungoogled-chromium consider changing its registry policy path to Software\Policies\\ungoogled-chromium (or another appropriate unique path) to prevent cross-browser policy interference?
