Hello Vinod, to be able to extend Smart Screen to Google Chrome you need two more settings catalog configurations specific to Google Crome: Enable apps and extension forced install list (with this Smart Screen extension becomes available), disable incognito mode on Chrome (this will enforce the use of Smart Screen on Chrome).

I have tested this on one of Windows device and found that it needs MS defender for SmartScreen extension to be installed on each browser which are non-Microsoft apps and after doing that it was working but when I tried to open any website it does not open in Chrome or Firefox and it redirects to Edge browser after opening Edge browser in separate window and then it opens the website or any URL that is expected to open in Chrome and Firefox browser.

So wanted to know is this expected or am I missing anything in its configuration from Intune side or on device?

@Vinod Survase, Thanks for posting in Q&A. Based on my researching, Microsoft Defender SmartScreen, which is not available for Google Chrome. But I find Microsoft Defender Application Guard now has an extension available for Chrome. You can use Application Guard to protect company data on chrome. Here is a link with more details:

Hope the above information can help.

@Vinod Survase, Thanks for the reply. For the extension, which you are installed? Microsoft Defender Application Guard Extension or Microsoft Defender Browser Protection extension?
