FWIW ~ on my new Edge with O&O 1.7.1408Interesting that I see this now in Edge Settings
It's not present under Chrome (and I'm the sole user here... no "org").
either of these On (green) causes "Your browser is managed..."

Did you try to restore the default Edge settings? (Settings >> Settings Menu >> Reset settings). You should also reset to default the tweaked settings via Edge://flags (use 'Reset All' in Edge://flags).Just to follow-up on my post earlier to get speechtexterDOTcom working on Edge, I did the following...
As for SpeechTexter... no go. I quit
- returned O&O ShutUp to Windows defaults, rebooted... no success
- returned Configure Defender to Windows defaults, rebooted... no success
- reset Edge to defaults, rebooted... no success
- uninstalled Edge, rebooted reinstalled Edge, no extensions activated, no success
- ran mic test on Edge here... success
I have no problems with opening this website with Edge Chromium (stable version 80.0.361.62 Official build 64-bit) with H_C (ConfigureDefender set to Max, FirewallHardening all rules). If you tweaked Edge via Edge://flags , then one of the tweaked settings may cause the problem.
I also noticed that some links blocked by Edge, can be opened by right-click >> Open link in new tab.

I reset Edge settings without effect. I missed "flags"... Though I just did this and still no relief.
I'll give it all another go once I have time to reimage my machine as a backup.

IMO this is a good move from MS. 
A question.
You have Prevent Edge from running in background?
But does the setting work or do you have to resort to Debotnet?

Chromium-based Edge doesn't run in the background if you change the setting "Continue running background apps when Microsoft Edge is closed" in edge://settings/system like all other chromium-based browsers.
That was great information as the non chromium Edge sadly does, but O&O added an option to kill that and it works perfect.

That setting on or off doesn't make a difference for me. There is no running in the background on my system.

Those options are not in the recommended settings of O&O ShutUp10 and not needed when changing the setting I mentioned here:That was great information as the non chromium Edge sadly does, but O&O added an option to kill that and it works perfect.

This was needed for the Old Edge.
Sorry, @upnorth that was the same as you were saying...
I can't download apps from the Google webstore anymore. It forces me to download Chrome when I try to add an extension. The button to add an extension says 'Available for Chrome' and when I click I get redirected to download Chrome. What is going on?!?
Working normally here. Did you change the browser identifier to something else?
Sorry, my bad. It was AdGuard for desktop that caused the problem
All fixed now

Microsoft Edge Close to Becoming the World’s Second Most-Used Desktop Browser
Stats show the adoption of the new Edge is improving
I'm quite close to permanently uninstalling Chrome... AS soon as Edge can sync extensions Chrome will be uninstalled from my computer.
