Ensure 'Configure the list of domains on which Safe Browsing will not trigger warnings' is set to 'Disabled'
Description
The setting determines the functionality of Safe Browsing. - Disabled (0): Safe Browsing protection applies to all resources - Enabled (1), with a list of 1 or more sites: Means Safe Browsing will trust the domains you designate. It won't check them for dangerous resources such as phishing, malware, or unwanted software. Rationale: Google Safe Browsing will help protect users from a variety of malicious and fraudulent sites, or download dangerous files. The policy is Disabled when it is not present: the audit prints 'absent' when the list key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome\SafeBrowsingAllowlistDomains is missing or empty, otherwise the configured entries.
