How do I enforce settings for an extension in chrome using mac?

Question

I'd like to enforce settings for an extension called uBlacklist. I want to make sure that every instance of Chrome on my computer has the same settings.
I'd like to edit it's settings, specifically adding this value to the blocklist *://acme.com/* and making sure the extension is on for regular browsing and in cognito browsing.
It appears that I can set Chrome-level settings for the extensions with the ExtensionSettings policy, but I don't see options for this extension-specific settings.
Can I either set the settings with the policies file or block the extension settings url after I've set the settings (chrome-extension://pncfbmialoiaghdehhbnbhkkgmjanfhe/options.html) along with preventing disabling in in cognito?

Chrome extensions are stored inside the Chrome profile, inside the Default folder
and then inside the Extensions sub-folder, where each extension has its own
sub-folder.
One may find the profile folder by entering in the Chrome address-bar
chrome://version and looking for "Profile Path".
For the Mac, see also  the post
Where to find extensions installed folder for Google Chrome on Mac.
Copying the entire folder of an extension, means that you will also be copying
its settings.
If you wish to prevent a non-admin user from modifying an extension's settings,
you may enforce this by not giving the user's account Modify permissions
on the extension's folder.
