So, the answer to this may be a bit technical...

Download this repo here The files you want are in .\Files\PolicyDefinitions\ inside that repo. You'll want to download the entire repo and extract the zip file. Copy the contents of that folder to C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions\ Those are the template files you need to see the group policies that are applied.

On your system, type gpedit.msc in the search bar, run it as an administrator, and navigate to Computer Settings > Administrative Templates > Google > Google Chrome > Safe Browsing Settings

Make the safe browsing protection level match the following image

If you want to change the extensions or remove them there are policies under Computer Settings > Administrative Templates > Google > Google Chrome > Extensions and Computer Settings > Administrative Templates > Mozilla > FireFox > Extensions
