Defender Web Content filtering for Chrome/Firefox
Hello all, We have recently configured Web Content Filtering. I am struggling with finding what is required to have the setup effect on Chrome and Firefox, exactly as it is seen via Edge. Has ...
Ah, so out Defender portal is managed externally, and i see this setting is turned off. Is this a 100% needed for it to work with Chrome/firefox?

- With EDR mode you dont need those , those were registries suggested by the MS team in case chrome and firefox are not blocking blocked categories but i think now the issue were fixed when you have network protection enabled and EDR in block mode if your defender is not the primary AV

- Hi all
We have an understanding now. One, the 3rd party provider of our defender can not turn on EDR block mode as causes issues with 3rd party AV. Also, we need to have Windows defender active, and not passive along side a 3rd party AV. Once the 3rd party AV is removed, Web filtering works fine.
Thank you all - Ok I will test a device without 3rd party AV AND reach out to my defender provider. Thank you.
