Set Edge as the default browser on Android
Is it possible to use Intune to set Edge as the default browser app for an Android fully managed device? We have an app that goes through an SSO process and uses the default browser for that. The SSO process will fail if the default browser is set to Chrome, but will work when the default browser is set to Edge. The "Restrict web content transfer with other apps" setting doesn't seem to help in this instance. Any suggestions would be appreciated & thanks in advance.

Hello. I'm not entirely sure on this but I belive you can configure SSO to also work with the built-in browser on mobile devices? I did this recently with some iPads where SSO with the work account also worked in safari. Some guidance is available here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/msal/android/single-sign-on. Again, I'm not 100% on this but let me know if using SSO through chrome is also an option.
Alternatively, I've read online that users went ahead and disabled chrome on the devices which forced the OS to use Microsoft Edge because no other browser was available. Haven't tested myself. Let me know if you need any further assistance.
