Bug report

Node Version: v6.11.5
Protractor Version: 5.3.0

    // onPrepare browser config

    browser.getProcessedConfig().then(function (c) {
        if (c.capabilities.browserName == "internet explorer")
            browser.waitForAngularEnabled(false);
    })
    browser.executeScript('window.e2e = true;');
   
    browser.waitForAngularEnabled(false);
    browser.get('https://angular.io/');

    //use either or
    browser.driver.get('https://angular.io/');
  },


  // Spec patterns are relative to the configuration file location passed

  // Options to be passed to Jasmine-node.
  jasmineNodeOpts: {
    showColors: true, // Use colors in the command line report.
    defaultTimeoutInterval: 9000000,
  }
}

simple test to recreate

//login does not have Angular Component

it('should be chrome', function () {
    //disable waitForAngular for login page
    browser.getProcessedConfig().then(function (c) {
        console.log(c.capabilities.browserName)
    })
});

**console output from test** 
[17:19:38] I/launcher - Running 1 instances of WebDriver
[17:19:38] I/local - Starting selenium standalone server...
[17:19:40] I/local - Selenium standalone server started at http://172.28.102.81:51936/wd/hub
C:\Users\LeoColeman\Desktop\Version-7-Issue-Tracker\specs\Page Objects
Started
internet explorer

**- Steps to reproduce the bug**
1. either browser.driver.get() or disabled waitforAngualrenabled()
2. getProcessedConfig then console.log(browserName)
3. it will always come back as IE when accessing from browser.driver or when disabled browser.waitForAngular().

Take a look at my modification of your example:

exports.config = {
  framework: 'jasmine2',
  allScriptsTimeout: 50000,
  untrackOutstandingTimeouts: true,

  // Capabilities to be passed to the webdriver instance.
  capabilities: {
    name: 'QA Protractor Automation',
    browserName: 'chrome',

  },

  params: {
    build: 'daily',
  },

  localSeleniumStandaloneOpts: {
    jvmArgs: ['-Dwebdriver.ie.driver=./node_modules/webdriver-manager/selenium/IEDriverServer3.11.1.exe', '-Dwebdriver.edge.driver=./node_modules/webdriver-manager/selenium/MicrosoftWebDriver.exe'],
  },

  directConnect: true,
  onPrepare: async function () {

    // onPrepare browser config
    await browser.driver.manage().window().maximize();
    await browser.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(0);
    const conf = await browser.getProcessedConfig();
    console.log('PREPARE:' + conf.capabilities.browserName);
    if (conf.capabilities.browserName == 'internet explorer')
        browser.waitForAngularEnabled(false);
    browser.executeScript('window.e2e = true;');
    browser.waitForAngularEnabled(false);
  },


  // Spec patterns are relative to the configuration file location passed
  // to protractor (in this example conf.js).
  // They may include glob patterns.*/
  specs: ['small-example-get-config.js'],

  // Options to be passed to Jasmine-node.
  jasmineNodeOpts: {
    showColors: true, // Use colors in the command line report.
    defaultTimeoutInterval: 9000000,
  }
}

and small-example-get-config.js

'use strict';

describe('Small test example', () => {
  beforeEach(() => {
    browser.executeScript('window.e2e = true;');
  });
  it('Should navigate to angular.io', async() => {
    await browser.get('https://angular.io/');
    const config = await browser.getProcessedConfig();
    console.log('-------------------------------------');
    console.log(config.capabilities.browserName);
    console.log('-------------------------------------');
    expect(config.capabilities.browserName).toEqual('chrome');
  });
});

As you can see on screen, all works as expected.
