Description
I know about configuring/controlling the WebView2 browsing experience through the CoreWebView2EnvironmentOptionsAdditionalBrowserArguments property. My question (relayed from a customer), is not about what knobs the developer can turn but rather, in the absence of such configuration, what Windows Settings (and maybe MS Edge settings) will affect WebView2 instances. To take one example, does the proxy set up in Windows Settings:
govern how WebView2 accesses network resources?
Are there other Windows settings that will also govern? Ideally, I am looking for a pointer to some Microsoft documentation that lays this all out clearly so customers know which knobs they can turn to affect WebView2 behavior without developer intervention. I was unable to find such a doc.
