Getting started with Protocol Handlers for your web app Beginning with Microsoft Edge 96, web apps can now use Protocol Handlers in Microsoft Edge. This is a powerful feature that allows your installed web application (or PWA) to handle pre-set or custom protocols. Installed web applications can now register with the operating system as protocol handlers and launch when a specific protocol is invoked. Let’s dive into the feature to understand how developers can take advantage of it. Typical use cases Probably the most common protocol that we interact with is the http protocol.

2022-01-20 KENNETH 0

Looking back at Microsoft Edge for developers in 2021 2021 was an eventful year for Microsoft Edge. We built new PWA features that more deeply integrate apps with the operating system, we made PWAs easily available on the Microsoft Store, we included WebView2 by default in Windows 11 with automatic updates, we specified and implemented multiple new web features to make the most out of diverse device capabilities, and released Edge on Linux! With all this, it has never been so easy to build great applications that make the most of Microsoft Edge and open and standard web technologies. Tooling has also been a big focus for us over the past year. VS Code and DevTools became ever more integrated, with several new workflows that meaningfully improve developer productivity and comfort.
