3 years ago Thanks for raising this. Selenium Wire did have setup instructions for Edge before version 3, but these were removed (as were the instructions for Safari) as they seemed to cause more problems than they were worth.
The configuration for Edge and Safari is more complicated than for Firefox and Chrome, because neither Edge/Safari support auto proxy configuration nor the ability to ignore untrusted certificates via the webdriver interface. This means that a number of manual steps have to be carried out and these steps tended to trip people up. Plus I also no longer have the ability to test Safari. So I took the decision to remove the instructions completely - effectively removing support for these browsers - although I did leave the webdriver classes as you've discovered. I suppose I should either remove those classes, or reinstate the instructions and improve them.
It sounds as though you were half way to getting Edge working if you set up the Edge proxy and passed the port number to Selenium Wire. The "max retries exceeded" may have happened because you hadn't completed the certificate step. It may be worth installing the ca.crt as a trusted certificate authority (mentioned in those Edge instructions linked above) and then see whether that gets you past the error.

When using this with Edge you will get the error message _You must set a port number in the seleniumwireoptions This needs better explanation. What should be done? Do we need to configure Edge? Which settings? Proxy settings? Which port should we set? Which hostname should we set?
I tried setting the Edge proxy to localhost:13371 and
seleniumwire_options={'port': 13371}but that didn't work. -> Max retries exceededI tried to search for this issue but it seems no one uses this with Edge so there is no solution on the web yet.
