Yes, they're not working at all. (Even if i only try to configure the homepage.)
I've used a "managed device" profile, because there are no user context.
Nevertheless, i've tested an "managed apps" profil, but this isn't working, too. (as expected)

 

I can't believe that this is any kind of "special" interest. It must be possible to configure the Edge Browser on Android devices, like it is possible on windows devices.

I guess, configuring these kind of edge settings on managed android devices is not yet supported. When you choose google chrome, you can define all kind of these settings.

    Hi Rudy,

    yes, with Chrome everyhting went well... 😄 What a mess.
    I've opened up a ticket at MSFT. It simply have to be possible to use the MS Browser instead of a 3rd Party one.

    I'll keep you updated, if there's anything new.

      Hi Patrick,

      were there any updates regarding your ticket? We are currently facing the same problem with Edge and this topic here is alreay over 1 year old. But same problems you already mentioned and strange behavior when switching between JSON Format and User configuration manager.

      Best regards,

      Bodo

        Hi Bodo_Borchers ,
        unfortunately not. Whenever we need a complete, configured browser, e.g. on KIOSK devices, we use the Chrome Browser. (Otherwise we prefer the Edge without pre-configuration.

      Hi,

      I am very curious about Microsoft has to say.. I tried all kinds of parameters... :). Edge is the recommended browser...so I guess it needs to be supported

        Edge on Android is far behind. Microsoft future vision and the current edge (canary) beta for Android will change and improve a lot of issues we currently have on Android.

        Watch this video to see thr future of edge on mobile.
