        <open-in>None</open-in>
  </site>

 

If it still doesn't work, we can look at other options to troubleshoot.

 

In general, the sites that you have listed in the XML with the element <open-in>IE11</open-in> should open in IE mode. All other sites will open in Edge.  Here's the updated documentation.
