Hi,

Microsoft has upgraded a number of users to Windows 10 which comes with Microsoft Edge as a default browser. Can you please specify if Angularjs (1.4.3) supports Microsoft Edge?

Also, are there any know issues with this browser?

Thanks!

Sorry but in our opinion, Edge is just as shit or the same as IE and has just been re-skinned. We ran into a lot of problems with it using angular combined with the onsen framework. Wouldn't recognise basic angular markup, tried older and more recent versions of angular, stripped out Onsen and more, nothing.... pile of shite.

Have a look at this https://docs.angularjs.org/guide/ie and this https://github.com/angular/angular.js/issues/13687 if you're planning on developing for Edge. Failing that, you could always just alert the user if they're visiting your application via anything built by Microsoft and in the nicest way possible tell them to change their browser to something else because Microsoft hate developers, want to make everyone's life hell, that they add about 4 years to the development of something that should take a few weeks and that if they continue to use their products then they will end up bald like me.
