There are a number of settings that can be changed:
Setting | Policy | Default |

There are a number of settings that can be changed:

Webview
In the WebView tab, administrators can enable WebView filters for approved websites, as well as set block lists of sites that should not be displayed using WebView.
Note: There are several reasons why a WebView filter may be disabled. The most common reason is that the approved list can be empty, so all URLs may be blocked, even if they are not explicitly listed on the approved list. Even if a particular URL is not added to the approved list, the domain will still load if the specific URL is not.
It is also possible to enable Android-specific policies and settings in addition to the WebView setting:
Setting | Policy | Default |

Disable cache | disables the caching of data within the embedded browser. | Enabled |
Disable local file access | – Disables the embedded browser from accessing the device’s local storage, so that it cannot make use of it. | Enabled |
