Option to disable welcome screen

[clhuby]

Issue Details

Wanting to implement Adguard extension to protect several users, however if I push the extension to users devices they all get the Adguard welcome screen opening which causes unnessesary confusion. Is there a way to not display any welcome screen to make it easier for organisations to deploy it across multiple devices? Even better would be a way topush out some pre-configured options but I'm not sure if modern browsers would allow that.

Proposed solution

Allow disabling the initial welcome screen and load the extension with it's standard defaults.

Alternative solution

Provide a way to push configuration settings via intune or other services.

how would you do that? 🤔 you can configure options only after installation, but welcome screen appears immediately after installation before you can make any changes 🤔
anyway many extensions have welcome screen 🤔

uBlock Origin installs without a welcome screen, it just enables the default blocklists which is great for ~90% of users who just want basic ad blocking. Power users can open the config screen by clicking the extension if they wish to enable additional blocklists or features.

With uBO going away with MV3 it would be great to be able to install AdGuard without a welcome screen as well.
