Intune Managed browser vs. Edge
Hey guys,
Looks like Microsoft is going to deprecate Intune Managed Browser soon. Anyone has any thought about that?
Things which lead me to that conclusion:
- The Microsoft Edge browser for mobile devices (iOS and Android) now supports Microsoft Intune app protection policies. Users of iOS and Android devices who sign-in with their corporate Azure AD accounts in the Edge application will be protected by Intune. On iOS devices, the Require managed browser for web content policy will allow users to open links in Edge when it is managed. (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/intune/whats-new#week-of-june-4-2018)
- Intune Managed browser last update was in mid-April (Edge was updated on May 30).
Alexander Vanyurikhin Hi , I have deployed MS edge app, app configuration, on BYOD iOS device enrolled in Intune. I have made MS Edge as a managed browser.
But MS edge suddenly stopped working, I mean end users somehow cannot open URL from outlook via MS Edge. So, end user uninstalled MS edge, trying to install from company portal but it is not installing giving error " app cannot be installed".
As a Result- I reployed MS Edge browser app through Intune, setup new app config policy, and assigned to all users - It started working.
Now, this issue occurred again. There are no errors on affected devices in Intune, device is compliant too.
Can you help me with this issue?
so wait, the 'managed browser' is not an app you specify as a browser? do you have documentation ? I am trying to configure one now.
No, "Managed Browser" stands for Intune Managed Browser.

I for one can't wait for Edge to become the default browser - the Managed Browser reminds of the Windows NT days.
Certainly but as long as the config and protections options are not fully equal to Managed Browser this won't happen imho.
Edge needs to get more config options like Favorites, block/white list, etc... interesting how fast they can deliver then there will be no need to keep Managed Browser anymore.
best,
Oliver
