Description

Currenlty it appears that only Chrome and Firefox are the supported browsers allowed for writing tests using pytest:

https://github.com/plotly/dash/blob/6ee3eeecf302498418bca2c026ba42af8e2dd5fb/dash/testing/plugin.py#L24

Some corporate environments lock down Chrome at the preference of Edge. having full support for testing with Edge in pytest would be very helpful.
