Microsoft Edge: TLS server certificate verification changes

Originally posted by Microsoft Nov 25, 2022 Microsoft Edge 0 Comments

In Microsoft Edge version 110, the certificate trust list and the certificate verifier will be decoupled from the host operating system’s root store.  Instead the default certificate trust list and the certificate verifier will be provided by and shipped with the browser. 

The MicrosoftRootStoreEnabled policy is available for testing to control when the built-in root store and certificate verifier are used until the planned policy deprecation. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-security-cert-verification
