Office Add-in not supported only in Outlook Desktop Application which uses IE 11 as a default browser - internet-explorer-11

We have an application which is build on Angular. We have created another Outlook Add-in which opens up this application in IE-11 browser. I referred this link https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dev/add-ins/concepts/browsers-used-by-office-web-add-ins which says that if your Windows OS is < 1903 then it uses IE 11 as default browser from the outlook app. But it seems that the application shows a blank screen when redirected to the Angular application. But works fine when the add-in is opened from outlook web application using same IE 11 browser. We have tried implementing this solution https://indepth.dev/posts/1125/angular-internet-explorer. But still does not seem to work.

You need to create a method that blocks ie 11 version 79 and below until there is a fix for it.

Running iMacros for Chrome with VBA

I've developed a number of macros that use VBA to open iMacros and scrape / update various websites. Normally, I use the iMacros browser and occasionally the IE browser. I'm working on a new macro but the website does respond well to either the iMacros or IE browser.
I'm trying to user iMacros for Chrome. From what I have read, I should be able to open iMacros for Chrome like this:
Set iim1 = CreateObject("imacros")
iret = iim1.iimOpen("-cr", True)
However, it isn't working like I expect it to. It opens Chrome and then after about 60 seconds, it shuts Chrome down without executing any other commands in my macro.
Am I doing something wrong or is something not installed correctly? Any suggestions would be appreciated. This is the first macro I'm developing with Chrome.
These are the settings I'm currently using:
Office 365 (Excel 2016)
iMacros for Chrome 12.0.501.6698
Windows 10
64 bit OS
Chrome version 77.
It might be an idea to check if your IE thing runs in compatibility mode. I've had same issues with the webbrowser control in VBA using Autocad. Even if IE was installed if I navigate to a website showing the browser version I got Stonehenge old IE6 shown.
So this might also happen in your case. I am quite sure they just utilize the MS IE Engine. Here is a link which looks outdated but it's all the same:
Same with Acces upgrade to IE 11 After I put acad.exe in the registry with the 11000 value Stonehenge was gone :)
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION
Add a key with the name of your running executable and the DWORD 11000.
So it just might be an idea to investigate in the same direction.

Outlook add-in deployed to Exchange Server on premises not loaded in macOS Safari

We have a Outlook add-in. When we deploy it to Office 365, everything is fine. All major browsers on Windows and Mac are working.
However, when we deploy the add-in manifest to Exchange Server 2016 on premises, the add-in is not loaded in Safari browser. All major browsers on Windows work, Chrome on Mac also works fine. Just Safari not working - after clicking the add-in icon, the custom task panel opens, but the content is not loaded. It's just blank, no spinner icon.
The JavaScript console shows some errors when the add-in is being opened, such as:
SyntaxError: Unexpected token '<' for file logon.aspx
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 400, for file https://mail.xxxxxxx.com/owa/prem/15.1.1591.8/scripts/owa.clientnext.frepanel.js.map
Our Exchange server 2016 has latest CU so far (CU 11 of Oct 2018), and the Safari version is 12.0.2, running on macOS High Sierra version 10.13.6.
Is this a configuration issue on the server or client side? Any suggestions?
Thanks!

.NET Web Browser Control Emulation on Windows 10

I have made a personal app using VB. The app uses Webbrowser control to load modern site so I edited my registry to have my app use Windows 8.1 IE browser instead of ActiveX browser built in with VB.
The registry edit I made was,
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION]
"APPLICATION.exe"=dword:00000000
This worked fine with the application until I upgrade it to Windows 10. Now the application won't load the browser if I have the key and when I delete it, it uses the default ActiveX control which doesn't support many things. Is there any way to make it work ? IE is still there on Windows 10 but I am guessing Edge is the problem ?
The dword value should be 11000 in decimal, so the WebBrowser control displays the Web page like the Internet Explorer 11.
Add the same dword inside
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_NATIVE_DOCUMENT_MODE]
to be sure it works properly.

Create/embed Firefox/Chrome base browser in Visual Studio

Im creating a freeware application (long live the free community) and I'm trying to add various features that might drive people to use the application such as implementing whatsapp web https://web.whatsapp.com/ into the app so that the user will always have an "always on top" window with their chats rather than everytime having to switch tabs if they're multitasking on their browser.
The problem i am having is that the built in Browser control with VS 2013 does not work with whatsapp web and i get the option to use supported browsers like firefox...chrome...safari.
Is there anyway to make a VB.NET application open an actual chrome/firefox based browser within itself?
I found an article on Gecko Browser...I am not sure if web.whatsapp.com would see this as a firefox browser: http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?692005-Mozilla-Firefox-Gecko-Xulrunner-in-VB-NET-%28versions-14-and-up%29
Help appreciated.
