How to exactly use IE mode on Edge canary?
Mixxxter What I (and others I think) have noticed is that the IE Mode broke somewhere between 77.0.211 and 77.0.218. It's broken on 218 (Dev) and 223 (Canary) on Windows 8.1 and Windows 10, setting the flags as before, no longer shows the option on More Tools.
It's not clear to me whether this is a breakage, or that they have silently disabled the feature (and annoyingly not told anyone!) yet?

It still works, but the button was removed. I guess that's because of the announcement that they would restrict the access to the IE mode.
If you use the OLD IE/Edge policies in Windows, you can add an Enterprise Compatibility list and the added domains will open in IE mode.
The syntax was expanded:
<site url=contoso.com>
<open-in app=true>IE11</open-in>
</site>
The app=true part forces Edge to open the full IE browser in a seperate window. If you don't use that, Edge will try to open IE in the same tab. That's what I learned through reading and experimenting.
See:

Klose_BW Will this new schema item also be reflected in the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager?
The most recent download ist from 2016: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=49974
Adrian_Guta Yes indeed! Now it works! They better correct the guide https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/DeployEdge/edge-ie-mode#updated-schema-elements :-)
1. I don't have this group policy "Configure Internet Explorer integration."
2. I also tried your syntax and made an .xml files with it, added a site to test but it didn't work, loaded the site normally in edge canary.
3. I don't know whether i should write https when adding the url to the xml file or not.
there needs to be more explanation on that matter.

For 1. - To see the group policy "Configure Internet Explorer integration." you will need to download and install the administrative template from https://www.microsoftedgeinsider.com/en-us/enterprise.
Again, this policy is not applicable to Canary, please try the Dev channel.
