It would be nice if Norton 360 for Android supported the newest version Microsoft Edge.

FWIW!! I have Edge from the Play Store installed on my Samsung Z-Fold 3, Android 11. Edge version 93.0.961.65. I'm not seeing any compatibility issues. I had to log into my Microsoft account then comply with a 2FA message with a code to install. Added synch across all my devices into settings. What specifically are you NOT seeing? Install failure? Cannot see the app in the play store to install? A bit more info will help us help you.

Thanks for your reply.
Sorry for not being clear. What I meant was that Norton 360 for Android doesn't protect against malicious websites while browsing with Microsoft Edge or Bing app, since these browsers are not supported by Norton on Android, so it would be nice if they could be supported.

The N360 app for Androind DOES provide protection, look in your settings under security, it protects against networks being malicious. Also, Edge itself has the following settings that protect you. See screenshot below:

I tried opening a malicious site using chrome and edge on android and only chrome was blocked by norton.
And if I go to Norton 360 web protection only Chrome is listed.

Is Chrome your default browser on Android? Change it to Edge. My default on Android is Opera GX, Norton protects is just fine, Edge is supported on Android as well. You are correct that Edge isn't listed in the supported browser listing. N360 still protects you via Norton and has its own built in protections as I listed before. https://us.norton.com/mobile-security-for-android
Post the Edge OFFICIAL support suggestion in the Product Suggestions board. The team will see it there.

I'd previously Edge as default but I switched back to Chrome recently.
Isn't this the Product Suggestion board or is there any other place I should post this?

Yes its the product suggestion board, many apologies. I'm bouncing too many things at once today. Did you change Edge back to default and recheck?

Yes I tried switching Edge as default but same results, only the built in Edge SmartScreen protection works for websites but this one misses more sites that Norton using Chrome.

While Norton decides whether to fully support Edge on Android I can suggest Opera GX for Android as your alternative to Chrome and Edge. I use it as my default. Never have any issues on my current nor former devices, both which are Galaxy branded.
