Hello luvsql,

regarding setting edge as default browser is possible via AppPP. I have written this article and I think it will be helpful for you

regarding Chrome, can you share screenshot of the chrome App assignment?

because it should work if you assign the user group to “uninstall”!

Best Regards

We currently have an App Protection Policy which includes all Microsoft Apps (and Edge) already deployed. Since we have 200+ devices, I would really like to avoid having to add each user one by one into a group to get Chrome removed. Users should be able to install and uninstall whichever apps they choose that are setup as "Available."

The only way to get this to work is the user has to go into their phone's settings > apps > and under the work profile list, disable Chrome, then go to the default apps > work and set Edge as a default.

Something has changed as we did not have this issue a few months ago.
