Add MS Edge Chromium support

Open RedMickey opened this issue 4 years ago • 10 comments

Hello, I am a maintainer of Cordova Tools VS Code extension and Cordova-Simulate tool. We use the cordova-serve package in Cordova-Simulate for simulating Apache Cordova applications on different platforms (Android, iOS) in the browser.

Platforms affected

  • Microsoft Edge based on Chromium

Motivation and Context

We have an issue about adding support of MS Edge Chromium. Since in Cordova-Simulate we use the cordova-serve package for launching apps in the browser, we consider that it makes sense to add a support of Edge Chromium to cordova-serve instead of making a local enhancement on Cordova-Simulate side. Also we think that it would be a useful enhancement for the cordova-serve package which allows to use the package for serving Cordova apps in MS Edge Chromium.

Description

Since the old Edge browser had become deprecated we added support of launching MS Edge Chromium on Windows and macOS. ~~This is a breaking change, since we removed support of non Chromium MS Edge browser. As seen Microsoft is promoting MS Edge Chromium browser and trying to replace the previous version of Edge which is not based on Chromium. We think that sooner or later the old Edge will be completely replaced on all the systems, so this PR could prepare the package to that change.~~
