The user will still have an option to proceed and download the item. Admins can use the `InsecureContentAllowedForUrls` policy to specify HTTP sites for which the warning will be suppressed. Admins can use the `InsecureDownloadWarnings` feature flag to test the impact of this upcoming feature. | | Deprecate unload event | Future release (TBD) | Introduces a new Permission-Policy to allow creating unload event listeners. The default policy is `allow`, but the default policy will gradually be migrated to `deny`, such that unload handlers stop firing on pages, unless a page explicitly opts in to re-enable them. This change is happening in the Chromium project, on which Microsoft Edge is based.
