There is a simple, more robust way to whitelist websites using an existing native Windows tool. However, it’s easy for the user to circumvent those apps by disabling them in the browser settings. On an individual browser level, apps can be obtained from the Chrome Webstore and Edge Add-ons store that perform whitelisting functions. However, the GPO method does not work on Windows Home and is complicated to deploy. For businesses with Windows Pro or Enterprise, the Windows Group Policy Objects Editor (GPO) can be used to whitelist using Chrome or Edge Policy Templates (adm, admx files). On an enterprise level, firewall products have whitelisting features but may be too expensive and complicated for many cases. From company-wide options to local individual browser methods, there are several techniques available for whitelisting.
