Edge Android : unsafe browser?
Frequently, in many Google sites - the latest in the series, e.g. google.com/android/beta - but also other "much less demanding" ones (the latter detail is not secondary), or even just the Google Chrome forum, trying to access from android with the Edge browser, after entering my username I get a pop-up with a ban:
"Failed to sign in
This browser or app may not be secure - Try using a different browser
If you're using a supported browser, you can try signing in again."
Reading the insight I get:
"Log in with a supported browser
To better protect your account, Google does not allow you to log in from some browsers. Google may block access from browsers that:
They don't support JavaScript or have it turned off.
They have added unsafe or unsupported extensions.
They are controlled by software automation rather than by a physical person.
They are embedded in another application.
Step 1: Use a supported browser
JavaScript is supported by the browsers listed below and other browsers:
Chrome
Safari
firefox
Opera
edge
Step 2: Enable JavaScript in Chrome
If you're using a supported browser and still can't sign in, you may need to enable JavaScript".
Edge for Android doesn't have a setting to enable or disable JavaScript.
Of course, subsequent attempts also receive the same warning. Obviously I use the original and updated version of Edge Android and I don't use plugins. Since it's a problem that's been around for some time, I'm assuming it's known and already looked into. Are there any solutions or should I resign myself to using Chrome?
I forgot.... In Settings > Privacy and security > Site settings > JavaScript > Authorization allowed....

Nothing?
Unless I have a problem, and in this case I invite everyone to check, is it possible that such a serious matter will not be discussed?
I'm not asking for tip, for help, I'm reporting a problem accessing Edge for Android to Google sites that require authentication, or alternatively a Google misconduct towards Edge.
Contrary to StLa1, I left Brave for Edge, but if the issue is not resolved, I return to Brave too, but regardless, the problem needs to be fixed....- This forum does not have any members that work at Microsoft, it's only random volunteers. If you want the Edge team to be aware of the issue you must submit a bug report in the app. Hopefully someone reads them.
Exactly, but precisely because it is a user forum (a more or less large group of people) that I raised the issue, taking it for granted that it is a common problem, not a personal one.
If it were just me complaining as advice I wouldn't be taken into consideration, but if there were more than one of us, maybe something could move "up there".
Bye thank you.
- I also had to move to Brave.
