Justin Scarborough I think Mobile Edge is now fully comparable to the Intune Managed Browser. The documentation does not mention any missing features and I'm currently not aware of any.

Was MS going to release a specific date they would start depreciating support/resources to the Managed browser?
I have already remove MB from Android/iOS platform and turned the policies towards Edge. I have seen some comments here, blocking/white-listing sites? Really? That seems more and more a Corporate Device and not what is most likely a BYOD scenario. We force users to use Edge for anything inside Intune.
That is really depends on why do you need Edge on devices. If it is required to improve security by use of App Protection policies for some internal resources, then probably you need to plan doing that. But if it is just using Edge for using Edge, then it is not feasible.
Alexander Vanyurikhin Good idea, but retraining my 50k users would be a challenge at my firm.

You always can use Conditional Access policies to force usage of "approved apps" for specieifc web-portals, so users won't have other options except to use Edge.MSobile edge isn't bad, we find users don't really use it though no matter what we do. Adoption is really hard compared to other MDM platforms. Oliver Kieselbach
