Use selenium to automate webpage that just works on Internet Explorer

Question

I’m trying to use selenium to automate a webpage that just works on IE, I cannot use Edge Compatibility Mode, once I’m using a Linux server (Edge for Linux doesn’t have the IE mode). Also I have tried Chrome plugins but it doesn’t work with selenium once it hides the html code. Any advice on this problem?

Also I’m using the xvfb wrapper for python in case that matters.

In order to crawl a browser, you need to install its corresponding driver e.g, for google you install chromeDriver. For IE you install the ie driver.
