Previously, I used to rely on https://sheilds.io dynamic badges to show total downloads and ratings of my chrome extension but looks like their service is currently down. I no longer want to depend on third-party services.
What's the API point to directly get chrome extension total downloads (and user ratings)?
sheilds.io dynamic badge to get chrome extension total downloads:

When you navigate to https://stackoverflow.com in IE11, it redirects the user to Edge with the following tab open: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/the-website-you-were-trying-to-reach-doesn-t-work-with-internet-explorer-8f5fc675-cd47-414c-9535-12821ddfc554?ui=en-us&rs=en-us&ad=us
How do I implement this in my own site? Is there a meta tag that can enable this?
EDIT: Here's a clip of what it looks like. Tried on Windows 10. https://streamable.com/nwtt22
Ah yes, I wondered this too, and also assumed to be a browser only thing.
Sure enough!
It's the ie_to_edge_bho (Browser Helper Object) DLL file found in the Edge Program files.
I was curious enough to Hex edit the DLL file and found the URL in which it pulls these approved sites from... almost like a master/default list.
Yes, it's built into the BHO, no it's not stored locally from what I can tell.

Here is the link: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2133855
Which forwards to https://edge.microsoft.com/neededge/v1
I have no idea how you get your own site on this list, but I figured I would add this information. :)
I was wondering this too. After reading Joshua Joppie's answer, I did some Googling and found this webpage.
Turns out, you need to e-mail Microsoft to get your site added to the Edge-only list (how to do so is explained on that page). I'm not sure if they'll take a request from anyone, or whether you need to be a big website, like Stack Overflow. It's worth trying anyway, as the only requirement they give is this:
The IE compatibility list is designed to work with public sites only.
To be honest, I've no idea why they didn't just make a <meta> tag for it. It would be much easier.
If I have time (which I doubt), I plan to make a JS programme that mimics the functionality of a website's presence on this list and I will link to it here. You could always do a user agent check that redirects the user to microsoft-edge:https://example.com (where example.com is your website) if it detects them using Internet Explorer.
Need to add the below script in the head tag to redirect your website in Edge browser
<script>
if(/MSIE \d|Trident.*rv:/.test(navigator.userAgent)) {
window.location = 'microsoft-edge:' + window.location;
setTimeout(function() {
window.open('', '_self', '').close();
// window.location = 'https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/we-recommend-viewing-this-website-in-microsoft-edge-160fa918-d581-4932-9e4e-1075c4713595?ui=en-us&rs=en-us&ad=us';
}, 0);
}
</script>
This is controlled by Edge Chromium group policy not code. You can refer to the steps below to set the group policy to achieve the goal:
1. Send all sites not included in the Enterprise Mode Site List to Microsoft Edge
This setting lets you decide whether to open all sites not included in the Enterprise Mode Site List in Microsoft Edge. If you use this setting, you must also turn on the Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer\Use the Enterprise Mode IE website list policy setting and you must include at least one site in the Enterprise Mode Site List.
Open Group Policy Editor.
Click Computer Configuration > Administrative Tools > Windows Components > Internet Explorer.
Double-click Send all sites not included in the Enterprise Mode Site List to Microsoft Edge.
Select Enabled.
Click OK or Apply to save these settings.
2. Configure which channel of Microsoft Edge to use for opening redirected sites
This policy enables you to configure up to three versions of Microsoft Edge to open a redirected site (in order of preference).
In the same path of Group Policy Editor, double-click Configure which channel of Microsoft Edge to use for opening redirected sites.
Select Enabled.
Under Options, select your top three choices for the channel to use - Internet Explorer will redirect to the highest ranked choice that the user has installed on that device:
Microsoft Edge Stable
Microsoft Edge Beta version 77 or later
Microsoft Edge Dev version 77 or later
Microsoft Edge Canary version 77 or later
Microsoft Edge version 45 or earlier
Click OK or Apply to save these settings.
3. Use the Enterprise Mode IE website list
This policy setting lets you specify where to find the list of websites you want opened using Enterprise Mode IE.
Create or reuse a Site List XML. Sample file is like below:
site.xml:
<site-list version="8">
<created-by>
<tool>EMIESiteListManager</tool>
<version>10.0.14357.1004</version>
<date-created>08/20/2020 07:45:39</date-created>
</created-by>
<site url="www.example.com">
<compat-mode>IE7</compat-mode>
<open-in>IE11</open-in>
</site>
</site-list>
In the same path of Group Policy Editor, double-click Use the Enterprise Mode IE website list.
Select Enabled.
Under Options, type the location of website list. If it's in local, you can set it like this: file://D:/site.xml.
Click OK or Apply to save these settings.
It's quite simple to add your domain to the redirection list.

Request an update to the IE compatibility list The IE compatibility
list is an XML file on microsoft.com. The list is regularly updated in
response to user and website developer requests to have websites added
or removed. Updates to the list are automatically downloaded to user
machines.
Email the following information to ietoedge#microsoft.com for your
website to be added or removed from the IE compatibility list.
Owner name Corporate title Email address Company name Street address
Website address
I'm fairly certain that Microsoft checks its "Enterprise Mode Site List" in order to decide whether to open the webpage or direct users to Edge. You can find more information about it here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/ie11-deploy-guide/what-is-enterprise-mode
I'm trying to add Google Analytics to my newsletters - sending via email.
I found img tag logging ( <img src="https://www.google-analytics.com/collect?v=1&utmac=UA-123456789-1&ec=email&ea=open&t=event" /> - https://blog.mailtrap.io/google-analytics-for-emails/ ), but it's not working because of src link is replaced by mail engines (gmail, ymail,..).
Also, I tried to track it by opening on my own web-site: I added img tag on my web-site's main page and loaded many times, but Google Analytics did not report it (logging is working on my Google Analytics account: I've tried to add Google Analytics scripts in head and it was logged - function gtag and its scripts..).
How to use Google Analytics in mails?
Thanks
A lot of browser-based mailboxes will cache the image on their server instead. I don't think there is a way around that.
Regarding why nothing is tracking, in the link you provided as well as documentation from Google requires other parameters as well. You're missing at least the client id cid parameter, adding it should work.
You can verify with the hit builder.
I'm imagining this situation: I have my app opened on my device. I've just created a new element (object) in my app, for example a new Film like this
film = {
title: 'Shark 3',
subtitle: 'the revenge',
date: '12-11-2019',
plot: '...'
};
and I've saved it in my local storage. Now I want to share it on socials (WhatsApp, Facebook...) generating a link to this object. By clicking on this link I want my app (or the app store if it is not installed) to open. In case my app is installed, it should display a page with the film's information.
Is it possible? How to do this in ionic?
The data you want to present is stored within the app and so available on every device your app is installed, I guess? Or is it data loaded from a backend?
What you want to do is called a Deep Link. This means clicking on a links opens your app and redirects the user to a specific page depending on the link.
This is possible with Ionic and the DeepLink native plugin.
But there need to be done other things outside your app to make it work. You need to register and verify your domain with Google and/or Apple.
And be aware testing this is very uncomfortable. It will only work with signed packes. So just running ionic cordova run android won't work, you will have to go the whole way creating a signed package as you need to do when you're going to publish it.
Here is a Blog article describing the functionality.
Two days ago I added 'paypal.com' to the referral exclusions on the google analytics account for my website.
My website is submitting its data to GA via google tag manager.
So far, yesterday's visits are not excluding paypal as referral.
Do you know if the process of setting the referral exclusions with google tag manager is different than it is for google analytics? do you know how long do the referral exclusions settings take to have any effect?
I sorted this out by implementing the referral exclusion in javascript, right before the gtm tag:
var previousReferrer = Cookies.get("previous_referrer")
if(document.referrer.match(/paypal\.com/))
Object.defineProperty(document,
"referrer",
{get : function(){
return previousReferrer; }});
Cookies.set("previous_referrer", document.URL);
please notice that as it is hard to change the document.referrer variable we need to use defineProperty and that this only works in modern browsers (safari <=5, Firefox < 4, Chrome < 5 and Internet Explorer < 9 ):
How to manually set REFERER header in Javascript?
Note : read both answers below, thery helped us.
Original question:
Want to show appropriate deep link : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_deep_linking so if android and no our app installed : show android app link, else html page link
App sends email to users. Want to be able to change links depending on device. If desktop - as is. If mobile go thru mail body and add "m." to all the href OR other link if our native app installed.
Do mobile mail clients run js?
Do I need to encode the js in anyway. Tried google but not able to get the right keywords to search for. End up on page about send grid or using js to send an email.
I want js inside email body. I know can change template at server, but want it to be dynamic to current client. So same email opened on desktop -> desktop links ; inside mobile app or browser - mobile links.
Or other html solution would be cool. W3 are you listening?
You can show/hide links depending on device using media queries. Try this:
<style>
#media only screen and (max-device-width: 500px) {
a[class=mobileLink] {
display: inline !important;
font-size: 24px !important;
}
a[class=desktopLink] {
display: none !important;
}
}
</style>
<!-- Starting link switching technique -->
HTML page link
<a href="link/for/mobile/version" class="mobileLink" style="display:none;
font-size:0px">Mobile page link</a>
<!-- End link switching technique -->
Yes, Outlook ignores display:none but if the link is just text, font-size:0px should take care that.
Want to show appropriate deep link : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_deep_linking so if android and no our app installed : show android app link, else html page link
This cannot be done in emails, but it can be done in landing pages, like the web version of your email.
App sends email to users. Want to be able to change links depending on device. If desktop - as is. If mobile go thru mail body and add "m." to all the href OR other link if our native app installed.
This can be done by using media queries to hide/show desktop or mobile content when appropriate. (Responsive emails.)
Do mobile mail clients run js?
No -- security issues.
Do I need to encode the js in anyway. Tried google but not able to get the right keywords to search for. End up on page about send grid or using js to send an email.
There's nothing you can do to get JS to work in email clients. It just won't work.
I want js inside email body. I know can change template at server, but want it to be dynamic to current client. So same email opened on desktop -> desktop links ; inside mobile app or browser - mobile links.
Once again, this can be done using media queries. (Responsive emails.) There are some drawbacks, but I suggest doing a Google search for "Responsive Emails" to get started.
Or other html solution would be cool. W3 are you listening?
There's nothing they can do in the email world. Unlike web browsers, where there are set standards, in the email world, anything goes.
Edit: Although using media queries to show the appropriate link/button for the devices, it's not a bulletproof solution. The best solution is to use your web server's power to determine where the user should go, depending on their user agent or viewport size.
There is a more modern solution, that is supported natively by mobile platforms.
On ios it's called universal links and on Android app links.
