Looking at edge://settings/ or edge://policy/

Does anyone have any tricks for reading the seemingly "protected" pages that load within Microsoft Edge like edge://settings/ or edge://policy/?  They page objects (it appears) but I can read from the DOM like I can on a web page. The only thing that seems to work is OCR which isn't ideal.

    It's not possible, as the SmartBear Test Extension is disabled when navigating to either edge://settings/ or edge://policy/, and it's also not possible to do JavaScript injection. Therefore, no controls are going to be exposed.

    What are you trying to test with these pages? We can probably help you figure out another way to do it.
