    @M, Vishnu (Cognizant), Thanks for posting in Q&A.

    For your question, could you help you confirm that if you mean "set edge as default broswer via Intune"? If yes, based on my researching,we can set Edge as the default browser by setting "com.microsoft.intune.useEdge" as true.

    Non-official, just for reference.

    Hope it can be helpful.

    Hi @M, Vishnu (Cognizant),

    microsoft-edge: protocol is not supported on non-windows platforms, so please remove the protocol and only use https or http on Android. You may need to contact your provider on this.

    If the microsoft-edge: protocol is needed elsewhere, just give it something like if...else statement to select the correct URL.
