supported browsers for web filtering

FormerMember

Hi,

 

I have an entry-level Android phone which has low storage capacity. In that regard, it is (almost) always a struggle to keep essential apps whenever Google Play support libraries get updated as they take up what little free space I could find. So one of the things I had to take down is Google Chrome which takes up close to 100MB. I replaced it with Firefox Lite which helped me free up more than half of what Chrome consumes.

 

Although I understand that Firefox Lite is not officially supported based on the documentation for Intercept X for Mobile, there was a mention about Protected browsers (not tested). I was under the impression that browsers not officially supported can still be at least detected/listed so Sophos can pass the link to that browser after filtering has taken place. However, I don't see this not tested category after installing Firefox Lite. Sophos Accessibility Service is turned on and Android Oreo is properly detecting Firefox Lite as a browser since I have the option to set it as my default browser app, so I'm not sure why Sophos appears to be unable to see it.

 

So I guess my questions are: [1] is this Protected browsers (not tested) thing still in play and how can I make it work if it still is, and [2] will Sophos consider officially supporting the lite versions/Go editions of popular apps? For the latter, I think it would be helpful as not all users have a high-end phone and everyone's first (if not the second) line of defense is web filtering when it comes to mobiles.

 

Please help. Thanks in advance.
