Add MS Edge Chromium support
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.~~
