IE mode only for 20H1 insiders?
I asked this in another thread, but I believe this is worth making a new thread over. So I've been seeing reports on other websites that IE mode is now available in dev/canary edge chromium, but if I try it out, it just says I need to update my version of internet explorer. I've also heard that it only works right now with those who are 20H1 insiders. Is that true? Can someone from the development team or someone who is a windows 10 insider shed some light on this confusion?
Y'all might find today's discovery interesting... 🤔🤨 This is new & different behavior today in Canary. Dev is okay.
This is, even, after running Canary as Admin as per the note. Dev is giving IE Mode. Canary is saying it can't do IE Mode and opens IE the same as Edge does, now... in its own separate browser window. Canary 200 was doing this today and 201 has the same behavior.
I have reported this to Feedback.
I took this snip such that you can see the clock. It is VERY customisable❗ May perk someone's interest.

No wonder superficially, instinctively, this made no sense...
I owe y'all a HUGE apology❗ The suggestion of ONLY Windows Insider Builds giving IE Mode is 100% rubbish. I am SO sorry, I don't know how I forgot that I did have it because of a flag. Plum forgot grabbing it back whenever. I, now, have it on Dev & Canary on BOTH my Insider W10 AND my Windows 10... because of doing the flag w/ the W10 installs, as well.
Forgive me for saying I had confirmed this theory as valid, it is not. IE Mode works on BOTH Insider Win10 & regular Win10 with a flag. Indeed, it has not, actually, 'arrived' in Edge C, yet. Excuse me for supporting misleading people.
Yes, currently IE Mode requires flags. Period. Applies to any & all Windows 10 Versions or Builds.
And, @hiren1610 , your 1803, still, must be brought up to 1903.
Cheers.

Yes, Tom but, there's a more than that... In regard to W10 & my saying be on 1903, that is because fundamentally 10 should, now, be on 1903 and definitely not be on 1803, anymore. But, the flags are needed for IE Mode in Edge C no matter what Windows OS is involved (7, 8, 8.1, 10 or 10 Insider Build) or even if on a MAC OS . Dev & Canary will run on all of the above, now, btw.

I am using 76.0.182.6 on Windows 10 1803 x64 Enterprise.
I have enabled flags following this :

I am still getting same error
Can't open this page in Internet Explorer mode
The version of Internet Explorer on this device doesn't support integration with Microsoft Edge. Updating your PC might solve the problem.
So I guess its still not available yet or not complete yet !?
Drew1903 "See where things stand after you bring that machine up to 1903."
We know that IE tabs works in 20H1. It does not work in 1903 Build 18362.175, as you confirmed in the other thread. That might change if Microsoft issues a July or August monthly update that incorporates the changes apparently made to the embedded IE code in 20H1.
I know that IE tabs is important to enterprise customers, and I'm hoping to find a technical paper on how security is implemented for IE tabs.
And at the same time, I have heard rumors that those who are part of the 20H1 insiders program have had success in opening a page in IE. I am hoping someone that is part of the 20H1 program can give an insight if that is true or not. If it works in 20H1, then it's not that far off from completion.
