A RSS news feed containing the latest Avanite Limited articles https://www.avanite.com/ en-gb https://www.avanite.com/blog/16th-may-2023-what-s-new-in-webdata-control-2023-2 <p>Avanite are pleased to announce the general availability of WebData Control 2023. <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>We&rsquo;ve taken the decision to align to the year. <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>With that said, let&rsquo;s take a quick look at the updates and improvements in this release. <p>&nbsp;</p> <h4><strong>Enhanced Resource Blocking capabilities</strong></h4> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Following customer feedback, we have added the ability to disable Ad Blocking on a per page/domain/site basis. <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>WebData Control has also added the ability to define custom rules to block or allow web resources in accordance with the DeclarativeNetRequest framework. <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>We&rsquo;ve also added a method of understanding what block and allow rules are being matched on a web page. <p>&nbsp;</p> <h4><strong>Improved Browser Extension update mechanisms</strong></h4> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The Resource Blocking and Browser Redirector features in WebData Control require browser extensions to be installed to provide the desired functionality. <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>If required, customers can now configure WebData Control to update the required Avanite browser extensions across an entire estate with minimal administrative intervention. <p>&nbsp;</p> <h4><strong>Automatic Update Improvements</strong></h4> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>With WebData Control 2023. <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>WebData Control 2023. https://www.avanite.com/blog/16th-may-2023-what-s-new-in-webdata-control-2023-2 Tue, 16 May 2023 13:27:00 +0000 Avanite Limited https://www.avanite.com/blog/manifest-v3-updates <p>A few months ago we published an article on <a href="https://www. <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The previously advertised timelines for the removal of support for Manifest v2 (MV2) seem to have been a little aggressive with issues outstanding around the implementation of Manifest v3 (MV3). <p>&nbsp;</p> <h4><strong>Google Chrome</strong></h4> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Since the last article was published Google have issued a new and updated timeline around MV2 support as follows;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p paraeid="{c3b69999-3a51-4584-aea9-8c9becfadf45}{85}" paraid="457123795"><img src="//avanitelimited-static. <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Reference: <a href="https://developer. <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>With Google Chrome version 110 a new policy called &ldquo;Control Manifest v2 extension availability&rdquo; was introduced. <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>This policy which can be enabled at either Computer or User level allows for Administrators to control how the browser behaves with regards Manifest v2 based extensions. <p>&nbsp;</p> <p style="margin-left: 25px;"><i>Control if Manifest v2 extensions can be used by browser. <p>&nbsp;</p> <p style="margin-left: 25px;"><i>Manifest v2 extensions support will be deprecated and all extensions need to be migrated to v3 in the future. <p>&nbsp;</p> <p style="margin-left: 25px;"><i>If the policy is set to Default (0) or not set, v2 extensions loading are decided by browser, following the timeline above. <p>&nbsp;</p> <p style="margin-left: 25px;"><i>If the policy is set to Disable (1), v2 extensions installation are blocked, existing ones are disabled. <p>&nbsp;</p> <p style="margin-left: 25px;"><i>If the policy is set to Enable (2), v2 extensions are allowed. <p>&nbsp;</p> <p style="margin-left: 25px;"><i>If the policy is set to EnableForForcedExtensions (3), force installed v2 extensions are allowed. <p>&nbsp;</p> <p style="margin-left: 25px;"><i>Extensions availability are still controlled by other policies. <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>At the time of writing of this article the timelines for when this policy will continue to function is unclear. <p>&nbsp;</p> <h4><strong>Microsoft Edge Chromium</strong></h4> <p>For Microsoft Edge the story is similar. <p style="margin-top:10px; margin-bottom:10px"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="background:white"><span style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="color:black"><img src="//avanitelimited-static. <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Reference: <a href="https://learn. <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>There may be further information available in the coming weeks/months on this, however at the time of writing there is no policy available to control the behaviour and the timeline is TBD. <p>&nbsp;</p> <h4><strong>Mozilla Firefox</strong></h4> <p>Mozilla Firefox 109 has added support for MV3 extensions however there is no support yet for some of the MV3 features such as DeclarativeNetRequest (DNR). <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The latest ESR release Firefox 102. <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Again, at the time of writing there are no official timelines around the deprecation of MV2 extensions in Firefox. <p>&nbsp;</p> <h4><strong>WebData Control</strong></h4> <p>Avanite continue to monitor for changes in the browser and evolve WebData Control in-line with these changes. <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The following table shows the WebData Control browser extensions and manifest versions that are used. <p>&nbsp;</p> <table class="Table" style="background:white; border-collapse:collapse"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="padding:0cm 0cm 0cm 0cm; background-color:white"> <p><span

this time the WebData Control MV2 extensions will continue to operate as expected and we will provide further guidance on this as more information becomes available. <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>If you have any questions on this, please feel free to contact <a href="mailto:info@avanite. https://www.avanite.com/blog/manifest-v3-updates Tue, 21 Mar 2023 17:44:00 +0000 Avanite Limited https://www.avanite.com/blog/whats-new-in-webdata-control-4-10 <p>Avanite are pleased to announce the general availability of WebData Control 4. <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>In this article we take a high level look at the updates and improvements in this release. <p>&nbsp;</p> <h4><strong>Simplified Deployment and Management</strong></h4> <p>In a drive to make configuration, deployment and management simpler Avanite have added support for;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <ul> <li style="margin-left:28px"> <p>Browser Redirector and Resource Blocking browser extensions can now be installed and removed on a per browser basis ensuring a simplified deployment experience. </li> <li style="margin-left:28px"> <p>Additional options for configuration deployment which can be invoked via a Group Policy/ADMX based mechanisms;</p> <ul style="list-style-type:disc"> <li style="margin-left:8px"> <p>WebData Control licenses can be deployed centrally to simplify License management at a configuration level. </li> <li style="margin-left:8px"> <p>Configurations can now be stored in an alternative location such as a D:\ drive in a non-persistent VDI/DaaS deployment. </li> <li style="margin-left:8px"> <p>WebData Management can be used without installing the Browser Redirector, Favorites Synchronization and Resource Blocking features. </li> </ul> </li> <li style="margin-left:28px"> <p>Customers who use Ivanti User Workspace Manager/DesktopNow, can deploy the WebData Control agent and associated configurations in a familiar manner via the Management Center. </li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h4><strong>Browser Redirector and Enterprise Mode</strong></h4> <p>WebData Control's Browser Redirector feature has been extended to add support for Enterprise Mode (IE Mode) in Microsoft Edge Chromium. <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Using WebData Control simplifies management and deployment by providing the ability to quickly configure and seamlessly deploy changes to endpoints. <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>WebData Control also ensures that the latest SiteList is used at all times with the WebData Management feature allowing for complete removal of outdated Enterprise Mode data from endpoints overcoming the 65 second delay in consuming a new SiteList configuration. <p>&nbsp;</p> <h4><strong>Inprivate/Incognito/Private Mode Support</strong></h4> <p>Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox provide the ability to invoke InPrivate/Incognito/Private modes. <p>&nbsp;</p> <h4><strong>Mozilla Firefox Extensions/Add-ons</strong></h4> <p>The WebData Management feature has been updated to add support for managing Mozilla Firefox extensions and add-ons. <p>&nbsp;</p> <h4><strong>Extended Event Capabilities</strong></h4> <p>WebData Control events can now be granularly enabled to allow only relevant event information to be reported. <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Further information on the changes can be found in the&nbsp;<a href="https://avanitewdcstorage. <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>WebData Control is available to&nbsp;<a

paraeid="{4446753c-0f4f-4176-bd21-d260b7828f27}{175}" paraid="311003526">As a quick intro to this blog (to let you decide whether to continue reading or not), the focus here is around a change that is coming behind the scenes in the Chromium based browsers (Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge) which will also impact Mozilla Firefox. <p paraeid="{4446753c-0f4f-4176-bd21-d260b7828f27}{175}" paraid="311003526">&nbsp;</p> <p paraeid="{4446753c-0f4f-4176-bd21-d260b7828f27}{175}" paraid="311003526">The Chromium Project is altering the WebExtension API by introducing a change which is commonly labelled &ldquo;Manifest v3&rdquo; (MV3) which will impact extensions for any browser based on Chromium and other browsers like Mozilla Firefox which leverage the WebExtension API framework. <p paraeid="{4446753c-0f4f-4176-bd21-d260b7828f27}{215}" paraid="159867831">&nbsp;</p> <p paraeid="{4446753c-0f4f-4176-bd21-d260b7828f27}{215}" paraid="159867831">With regards Avanite, WebData Control&rsquo;s Browser Redirector feature uses browser extensions to intercept URLs typed into the browser and the changes to the WebExtension API require the latest version of WebData Control to ensure this functionality keeps on working as expected. <p paraeid="{4446753c-0f4f-4176-bd21-d260b7828f27}{243}" paraid="1363315854">&nbsp;</p> <p paraeid="{4446753c-0f4f-4176-bd21-d260b7828f27}{243}"

paraeid="{c3b69999-3a51-4584-aea9-8c9becfadf45}{2}" paraid="1901212163">The WebExtension API is a framework for the cross browser development of browser extensions which has been using a manifest v2 (MV2) implementation since 2012/13. <p paraeid="{c3b69999-3a51-4584-aea9-8c9becfadf45}{16}" paraid="2035649205">&nbsp;</p> <p paraeid="{c3b69999-3a51-4584-aea9-8c9becfadf45}{16}" paraid="2035649205">MV3 has some benefits over MV2 but the changes have proven controversial as some capabilities in MV2 are no longer available in MV3 and have proved to be pretty restrictive for many existing consumer focused browser extensions. <p paraeid="{c3b69999-3a51-4584-aea9-8c9becfadf45}{30}" paraid="1639397392">&nbsp;</p> <p paraeid="{c3b69999-3a51-4584-aea9-8c9becfadf45}{30}"

https://www.avanite.com/blog/whats-new-in-webdata-control-4-8 <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>On 18th May 2021 WebData Control 4. <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>This release has added new and exciting options to further expand the capabilities of the WebData Control solution. <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Browser Redirector Re-imagined</strong></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>In previous versions of WebData Control the Browser Redirector feature has relied on setting browser redirector as the default browser inside a user session so that Browser Redirector can intercept and redirect any URL (http/https) request to the appropriate browser. <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>With WebData Control 4. <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The 4. <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Browser Redirector has also added a new capability to allow URLs to trigger a redirection to an external process rather than one of the installed browsers. <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Finally, the capability has been added to enforce the use of a specific browser for users. <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Notifications and Events</strong></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>With the WebData Control 4. <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>There are now 20+ events which can be raised to the application event log around activities completed by the agent. <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Also notifications can be configured to provide user feedback when actions are undertaken such as redirecting a website to another browser or when Browser Management has completed processing data. <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Favorites Synchronization</strong></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>As of the 4. <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>WebData Management</strong></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>With this release the WebData Management feature only has minor changes to ensure continued compatibility with the latest O/S's and browsers. <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>General improvements and bug fixes. <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>A number of internally raised bugs and customer reported issues have also been resolved in the WebData 4. <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>WebData Control is<a href="https://www.

https://www.avanite.com/blog/whats-new-in-avanite-webdata-control-45 <p class="paragraph" style="margin:0cm 0cm 0pt"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Recently at Avanite we released version 4. <p class="paragraph" style="margin:0cm 0cm 0pt">&nbsp;</p> <p class="paragraph" style="margin:0cm 0cm 0pt"><span style="font-size:14px;"></span></p> <p class="paragraph" style="margin:0cm 0cm 0pt"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><strong>Browser Agility&nbsp;</strong></span></span></p> <p class="paragraph" style="margin:0cm 0cm 0pt"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Avanite started with a vision of optimizing web browser behavior to improve user experience, and to reduce the cost of managing the hardware and software used to access web sites and applications. <p class="paragraph" style="margin:0cm 0cm 0pt"><span style="font-size:14px;"></span></p> <p class="paragraph" style="margin:0cm 0cm 0pt">&nbsp;</p> <p class="paragraph" style="margin:0cm 0cm 0pt"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><strong>Favorites Synchronization</strong>&nbsp;<br /> Many users are forced to use multiple web browsers for a variety of reasons: application compatibility, performance, security, vendor support, and so on. <p class="paragraph" style="margin:0cm 0cm 0pt"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /> Avanite reduces this burden by synchronizing Favorites between browsers, and in each release of WebData Control it has taken another bite out of this surprisingly tough technical challenge! <p>&nbsp;</p> <ul> <li class="paragraph" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Version 4. <li class="paragraph" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Version 4. <li class="paragraph" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">A new "migration mode" allows the capture of favorites from one or more browsers, which then can be migrated to a new environment - essential as part of a desktop refresh or transformation project, delivering a consistent browser experience to users that share a common list of sites. </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p class="paragraph" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><strong>Browser Redirection</strong></span></span></p> <p class="paragraph" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">For users with multiple browsers, remembering which one to use for which site and which application is a burden, and highly error-prone. <p class="paragraph" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /> Following enthusiastic customer feedback, in version 4. <p>&nbsp;</p> <ul> <li class="paragraph" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Some web servers perform multiple redirections before the user gets to the final web page. <li class="paragraph" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">When launching a new web browser, optional administrator-specified parameters on the command line that starts the web browser can now be used to specify security and usability settings. <li class="paragraph" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The Browser Redirection extension for Microsoft Edge is now fully approved and published in the Microsoft Store, easing the install process. </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p class="paragraph" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span
