This is how you can configure the new Chromium-based Edge to offer compatibility mode with Internet Explorer

The new Chromium-based Edge has arrived from Microsoft with unusual force. Thanks to the engine on which it is based, which leaves aside the limited Edge.html, offers great potential that the American company is not willing to let go There is a great base that they can take advantage of and that's what they want to do with the Canary channel and the Dev channel.

The latest update that brings the Canary version of Edge to 77.0.200.0 offers an interesting addition. It allows the new Chromium-based Edge to have support so that we can use it as if it were Microsoft Explorer, something very practical especially when doing some negotiations on the web, especially with official organizations and entities involved.In this way we can open Internet Explorer directly from the Edge browser.

But it is not an option that for now comes enabled from the factory and for it to work we have to do our part and Take the necessary steps to make it happen. However, they are very few and simple and here we are going to explain how to achieve it."

Steps to follow

The first step is to have the most current version of Edge Canary, the one with the number 77.0.200.1. We can check it within the preferences and configuration of the browser itself.

"

Once updated write the command edge://flags (without the quotes) in the browser window. We will see that a screen opens with a series of instructions."

"

Using the search engine, we locate Activate IE integration (Enable IE Integration) and in the check box we mark the option Activado (Enabled)."

"

At that point, we only have to restart the browser, something we can do by pressing the Restart button>"

"

To check if we have been successful, simply access any website in the browser. At that point we look inside the Configuration Menu>More tools (More Tools) and once inside we go down until we find Show this page using Internet Explorer(Show this page using Internet Explorer)."

This is the first step that we hope will serve to comply with what was announced at the time. Being able to have Internet Explorer compatible mode but directly as a tab in the new Edge.

Remember that you can download the new Edge at this link on any of the channels on the platforms on which it is available.
