Edge

Edge is Chromium-based — same proxy behaviour as Chrome. It follows the OS proxy by default and supports the --proxy-server flag for per-profile launches.

Recommended: OS-level proxy

Edge does not have its own proxy UI. Set the OS proxy and Edge follows:

• Windows — Settings → Network → Proxy
• macOS — System Settings → Network → Proxies
• Linux — depends on desktop environment

Alternative: --proxy-server flag

# Residential
msedge \
  --user-data-dir=%TEMP%\edge-helo-res \
  --proxy-server="http://gate.helodata.io:7777"

# ISP
msedge \
  --user-data-dir=%TEMP%\edge-helo-isp \
  --proxy-server="http://198.51.100.42:8000"

Credentials are entered in the proxy-auth dialog Edge pops up on first request. The flag itself does not accept embedded creds.

Extension: SwitchyOmega-Edge

Edge accepts most Chrome extensions. Install SwitchyOmega from the Edge add-ons store; configuration is identical to Chrome.

Common pitfalls

• Edge running as Microsoft account-bound app — corporate Edge installations may enforce a proxy via group policy that overrides yours.
• Auth dialog every restart — same as Chrome; SwitchyOmega or OS-level proxy avoids it.
