41[`builtinBrowserDefaultDomainPolicy`](/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/configuration#builtinbrowserdefaultdomainpolicy) decides whether Claude can open every site except the ones you block, or only the sites you allow.

Under `block`, listing the site in `builtinBrowserAllowedDomains` is your organization vouching for it, so Claude works with it without asking before each action. For a site on your private network, Claude Desktop still asks before each action until the user chooses **Always allow** for that site.
