MsEdge v80 and higher do not support ChromeOptions() anymore, you have to use EdgeOptions(). For java I do not know, but for python you need to use selenium 4.0.0a5 or newer. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webdriver-chromium |

Sorry, but we're not going to backport Edgium support to Selenium v.3, please wait for a stable version of Selenium 4 or try the current alpha. |

In a comment from April 2020 [1], the Selenium maintainers said that they would not support Chromium-based Edge in Selenium 3. They instead suggested waiting for a stable version of Selenium 4. However, as of December 2020, there is no release date in sight for Selenium 4, Chromium-based Edge is the only version of Edge actively supported by Microsoft since August 2020, and legacy Edge will reach end-of-life status in March 2021 [2]. Thankfully, Generic WebDriver Server is generic enough to handle this case. We can use it to configure Selenium 3 to respond to Edge and use Microsoft's `msedgedriver.exe` as a backend executable.
