macOS 10.15 System Preference Panes

Below are a list of System Preference pane URLs and paths that can be accessed with scripting to assist users with enabling macOS security settings without having to walk them through launching System Preferences, finding panes, and scrolling to settings. Not all panes have an accessible anchor and some are OS specific.

To find the Pane ID of a specific pane, open the System Preferences app and select the desired Preference Pane. With the pane selected, open the ScriptEditor.app and run the following script to copy the current Pane ID to your clipboard and display any available anchors:

tell application "System Preferences"
	set CurrentPane to the id of the current pane
	set the clipboard to CurrentPane

// I'm tired of extensions that automatically:
// - show welcome pages / walkthroughs
// - show release notes
// - send telemetry
// - recommend things
//
// This disables all of that stuff.
// If you have more config, leave a comment so I can add it!!

Controversy

The topic of recipe-based frequent fresh reinstalls of macOS is a controversial issue. Some people are against reinstalling macOS, citing that they have never had an issue with Apple provided upgrade installs.

NOTES: 

The PCRE engine (Perl Compatible Regular Expressions) is what BBEdit and TextWrangler use.

Items I'm unsure of are marked '# PCRE?'.  The list while fairly comprehensive is not complete.

#   This script converts margins, padding, and borders to logical values,
#   allowing RTL and vertical languages to show correctly.
#   Supports both *.css and *.scss files.
#
#   Some renames are not yet implemented widely, and may require CSS plugin

-- AppleScript --

-- This example is meant as a simple starting point to show how to get the information in the simplest available way.
-- Keep in mind that when asking for a `return` after another, only the first one will be output.
-- This method is as good as its JXA counterpart.

-- Webkit variants include "Safari", "Webkit", "Orion".
-- Specific editions are valid, including "Safari Technology Preview".
-- "Safari" Example:
tell application "Safari" to return name of front document

use AppleScript version "2.4" -- Yosemite (10.10) or later
use scripting additions

Original script: John Gruber (https://daringfireball.net/linked/2023/12/05/an-applescript-for-safari-split-tabs-to-new-window)
Much more elegant version: Leon Cowle (https://github.com/leoncowle)
Even more elegant version: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/54066100/applescript-to-split-safari-tabs-into-new-window/54089865#54089865

Worth a warning: "moving" tabs with this script doesn't actually move them like
drag-and-drop does. The tabs "moved" by this script will reload in the new window,
