My objective is to force an URL to be opened in Microsoft Edge. I found a way to do this with : microsoft-edge:url.
The fact is that this method works under Internet Explorer, Chrome but NOT in Edge. Using this method in Edge will open a Bing search but not my link.
I'm encountering this issue because I want to change a link from a website and it doesn't work at all if I'm already in Edge.
Is there any solution?
The microsoft-edge:url protocol enables other browsers to switch to Edge, except Edge itself since you're already in Edge. In this case, I would suggest modifying your code. You can first detect if the user is using Edge or other browsers. For other browsers, you can use microsoft-edge:url protocol; For Edge, you can simply use the url.
I have an AngularJS (1.58) webapp showing some maps with ui-leaflet.
I have integrated the Leaflet.Heat Plugin, successfully. Also, I have integrated the Leaflet.Draw Plugin successfully.
Problem:
The moment Im using both Plugin, Heat and Draw, my webapp is not showing any maps anymore on microsoft browsers (Microsoft Edge, Internet Explorer 11). I have tried to use different combinations of release versions of these plugins to get it to work on every of the common browers. When I bring the leaflet maps back to working on Microsoft Edge, the Heat Plugin is not anymore working (not only ME, also not Opera, Firefox, GChrome).
Summed up:
The latest versions of ui-leaflet, Leaflet, ui-leaflet-draw and Leaflet.Heat
are working fine together on Google Chrome, Firefox, Opera. But the maps are totally disappearing for Microsoft Edge. Older versions are showing maps again for Microsoft Edge, but the Heat Plugin is not anymore working on any browser.
Question: Is there a working combination of versions of these tools for all these browsers (speaking of Google Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Microsoft Edge) together? If so, which versions are them? If not, are there recommended workarounds? Maybe other plugins, which I can use instead for drawing or showing well-looking heatmaps?
Steps to reproduce:
Download the Leaflet.Heat example. Integrate ui-leaflet-draw as Librarys (e.g. via bower).
Test it with Google Chrome, Firefox, or Opera. Depending on your versions, you gonna either see the working Heatmap but tested with Microsoft Edge you dont see any map OR you dont see any heatmap, and microsoft edge shows u a map (also without heat).
Alright, I was focusing my issue and find a solution.
I replaced ui-leaflet-draw with leaflet.Draw plugin and the combination of all 3 worked for all browsers (as long as I am using the correct versions).
So here they are from my bower.json project file:
"dependencies": {
"angular": "1.5.8",
"angular-simple-logger": "~0.1.7",
"ui-leaflet": "1.0.3",
"Leaflet.heat": "https://github.com/Leaflet/Leaflet.heat/archive/gh-pages.tar.gz",
"angular-material": "~1.1.1",
"leaflet.draw": "*"
},
"resolutions": {
"angular-material": "~1.1.1",
"angular": "1.5.8",
"leaflet": "1.0.3"
}
Update: Leaflet 1.0.3 working too and has better user expierence controls then 0.7.x
Enjoy developing nice maps with Heat layers and Draw controls now working for GChrome, Opera, FireFox, and Microsoft Edge! (havent tested IE 11 cuz of lots of other conflicts with angular-material)
So I'm a big fan of Google Chrome on Windows 8.1, IE just doesn't cut it for me (popular opinion I believe...)
The ONLY advantage I see in IE over Chrome is the hover display on the windows toolbar.
(Sorry the images are from windows 7...)
Where on chrome with three tabs open...

Does anyone know of a way to get Google Chrome to operate as Internet Explorer does on the toolbar?
Maybe some kind of chrome extension I am unaware of, but who knows! Thanks for any help, maybe we can solve this problem for good!
I have an html file with links like that :
folder name
I would like that this link opens explorer instead of a custome chrome file html based browser. This works from IE btw.
Thank you !
Nicolas.
For Chrome, Safari and Opera this isn't possible due to their security model. However, there is somewhat of a solution for Chrome in that it's possible but it has two requirements:
You need to get the user to install this Chrome extension
It must be over https://
You will probably encounter the same problem for Firefox since it usually requires LocalLink.

I am testing my web application in Safari 5.1.7 on Windows (the latest version available). It shows a specific bug which I want to verify in Chrome that is using the same version of Webkit as Safari 5.1.7. How can I find out which Chrome version I need to download?
From Wikipedia page about Safari versions I know that Safari version 5.1.7 uses Webkit in version 534.57.2, but I can't seem to be able to translate that version to the corresponding Chrome version.
I found this post: Which version of Webkit in a given Chrome release?, but it doesn't quite help because it only gives the version of Webkit in a given Chrome release, not the version of Chrome that contains a given Webkit version.
What I usually do in this case is look at this list of chrome user agents and match to the closest webkit version, but it's tricky because you'll never get a full match.
For the sake of your specific questions, to get close to Safari 5.1.7's webkit engine you'd want to get a copy of the last Chrome 12 version. Technically Webkit 534.57.2 is somewhere between Chrome 13.0.766.0 and Chrome 13.0.782.1. But given that it's already hard to find old copies of Chrome. Finding an old very specific version like that on the web is near impossible.
Another great reference to find equivalent browser versions by date is the caniuse date relative data.
Look up any feature (such as 'flexbox') and click on "Date Relative" for a visual comparison of all browser versions by date releases.
