Command-line parameters for switching from the alternative browser.

Setting the policy to a list of strings means the strings are joined with spaces and passed from Internet Explorer® to Google Chrome as command-line parameters. If an parameter contains ${url}, ${url} is replaced with the URL of the page to open. If no parameter contains ${url}, the URL is appended at the end of the command line.

Environment variables are expanded. On Microsoft® Windows®, %ABC% is replaced with the value of the ABC environment variable.

Leaving the policy unset means Internet Explorer® only passes the URL to Google Chrome as a command-line parameter.

Note: If the Legacy Browser Support add-in for Internet Explorer® isn't installed, this policy has no effect.

Example value:

--force-dark-mode

Supported on: At least Microsoft Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 family
