    Yeah, I don't see it on mine (Canary) too. Although I don't use IE or IE mode (I use the other Edge as my default browser). I do see it on the option on the old Edge though although in that case it takes you into IE 11:

      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.
