The new Microsoft Edge is based on Chromium and was released on January 15, 2020. It is compatible with all supported versions of Windows, and macOS. With speed, performance, best in class compatibility for websites and extensions, and built-in privacy and security features, it's the only browser. Microsoft Edge is an internet browser made by Microsoft, which is installed by default on all new Windows computers. Edge was made to replace Internet Explorer, and runs faster and with more features.

Puppeteer is a Node library that provides a high-level API to control Microsoft Edge (Chromium) using the DevTools Protocol. Puppeteer launches headless browsers by default. Headless browsers do not display a UI, so instead you must use the command line. You may also configure Puppeteer to run full (non-headless) Microsoft Edge as well.

By default, when you install Puppeteer, the installer downloads a recent version of Chromium, the open-source browser that Microsoft Edge is also built upon. If you have Microsoft Edge (Chromium) installed, you may use puppeteer-core. puppeteer-core is a lightweight version of Puppeteer that launches an existing browser installation, like Microsoft Edge (Chromium). To download Microsoft Edge (Chromium), navigate to Download Microsoft Edge Insider Channels.

Installing puppeteer-core

You may add puppeteer-core to your website or app with one of the following commands.

Launch Microsoft Edge with puppeteer-core

Note

puppeteer-core relies on Node v8.9.0 or later. The example below uses async/await which is only supported in Node v7.6.0 or later. Run node -v from the command-line to ensure you have a compatible version of Node.js.

puppeteer-core should be familiar to users of other browser-testing-frameworks like WebDriver. You create an instance of the browser, open a page, and then manipulate it with the Puppeteer API. In the following code sample, puppeteer-core launches Microsoft Edge (Chromium), navigates to https://www.microsoftedgeinsider.com, and saves a screenshot as example.png.

Copy the following code snippet and save it as example.js.

Change executablePath to point to your installation of Microsoft Edge (Chromium). For example, on macOS, the executablePath for Microsoft Edge Canary should be set to /Applications/Microsoft Edge Canary.app/. To find the executablePath, navigate to edge://version and copy the Executable path on that page or install the edge-paths package with one of the following commands.

The code sample below uses the edge-paths package to programmatically find the path to your installation of Microsoft Edge (Chromium) on your OS.

Finally, set executablePath: EDGE_PATH in example.js. Save your changes.

Note

Microsoft Edge (EdgeHTML) does not work with puppeteer-core. You must install the Microsoft Edge Insider channels to continue following this example.

Now, run example.js from the command line.

puppeteer-core launches Microsoft Edge, navigates to https://www.microsoftedgeinsider.com, and saves a screenshot of the webpage. Customize the screenshot size with page.setViewport().
