"noframemerging" in Edge is not supported
Hi Kelly_Y ,
With the end of IE's life in a few months, why don't we have this feature with Edge? Are there any plans to have this same functionality with Edge?
Thank you for your reply !
MicrosoftMatie7 Hello! IE mode on Microsoft Edge supports nomerge starting from Microsoft Edge version 93.
Please see the FAQ for instructions:
Thanks!

- Hi Kelly_Y,
No-merge seems to be described as exactly the functionality I need. But either the functionality is not working as I expect or I do not have it configured it correctly.
Our need:
We have a legacy site that uses Active X that we must now run in MS Edge using IE mode.
We must also support multiple sessions running from the same machine.
Our configuration:
Version 99.0.1150.55 (Official build) (64-bit)
In edge://settings/defaultBrowser
Allow sites to be reloaded in Internet Explorer mode is set to: Allow
In Internet Explorer mode pages the local site is added: http:localhost/jj/
In edge://compat/sitelistmanager
An entry is added for the same site
http:localhost/jj/
Open in: IE Mode
Allow Redirect: Yes
Merge Type: No Merge
Compat Mode: Default Mode
We are running a web application on http:localhost/jj/
We have a script that opens MS Edge with the following command
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe" --new-window http://localhost/jj/
We will use this script to launch multiple (say 5 instances) of the same application.
They all launch fine, in their own window, which is correct. They load in IE mode which is also correct.
However they all share the same session. If we login to the application on one window, all 5 windows will inherit the same login information. We need the ability to run multiple instances at the same time, all with different login credentials.
This seems to be exactly what no-merge should be doing, but I cannot get it work correctly.
Can you point to more detailed configuration information?
Is there a way to tell on the Internet Explorer diagnostic information page if no-merge is enabled?
Is there a way to enable no-merge via the command line?
Thank you for the support.
Patrick HansonAn update to my post. The no merge functionality does seem to be working correctly. 🙂
A couple of notes to someone trying to configure this that were not apparent to me from the outset.
You have to first configure IE integration and the Enterprise Site list via group policies. You have to install a template to make the appropriate group policies visible / configurable
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/edge-ie-mode-policies
MS Edge has a tool for editing the Enterprise Site List.edge://compat/sitelistmanager
I mistakenly thought this tool was editing MS Edge settings directly, but it is not. It is tool for creating a list.
I'm not an expert on group policies so I hope my comments are correct and help someone.

- Hi Kelly_Y,
I know it but I would like to use noframemerging with Edge and not IE mode in Edge because I need to have Edge Viewer. When is it planned ?
Thank you for your reply.- Kelly_Y
Matie7 Hi! Just to confirm, have you tried the 2 recommended alternatives in the article? (Profiles or command line) Would either work for your scenario? If not, would you be able to provide more information about your specific case? Thanks!

Hi Kelly_Y Yes, we have tested the two proposed scenarios but it is not usable for our environment. We need to update a web application that is no longer compatible with IE and does not support multisession. The only possible solution for us is to have the possibility to call Edge with noframemerging.
