-noframemerging and -k switches for MS Edge?

Hi, Support

 

we have application use IE as a embedded browser, we are trying to make the transition from IE to MS Edge.

 

We need to launch the IE with both these 2 switches: "-noframemerging" and "-k".

 

according to the following doc, there are 2 recommended alternatives for the no-merge functionality in Microsoft Edge.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/edge-ie-mode-faq#does-ie-mode-on-microsoft-edge-support-the-no-merge-option-that-was-supported-in-internet-explorer-11

 

Option 1: I don't know if how to Use Profiles in MS Edge, especially we gonna use Edge in embedded kiosk mode? Could you elaborate on how to use profiles?

Option 2:  The problem using this option(--user-data-dir=<path>) is you have to provide a different path for each session. The application is run as standard user, it would be hard to create a folder under user data dir every time launching Edge.

option 3: Enable IE mode on Microsoft Edge.

 

So, for my use case, which option is the most suitable? thanks.
