Edge noframemerging alternatives


to Use EDGE shortcut to always launch a page in new session, For this purpose on IE11 i used -noframemerging flag. Edge doesn't support “noframemerging” feature. Trying with -inprivate I get a session dedicated to private instance. but each private instance shares the same session ID. is there a flag for EDGE to obtain a different session id for each instance opened from a shortcut?


Solution

  • From the official doc, if you want to use no-merge functionality in Edge, you can use one of the following solutions:

    1. Use Profiles in Microsoft Edge - Each profile maps to a different IE session for IE mode pages, so it behaves identically to the no-merge option.
    2. Use the --user-data-dir=<path> command line, but with a different path for each session. If needed, you can create a utility for the user to run that launches Microsoft Edge and changes the path for the session.
