LinkedIn Share button doesn't work in Microsoft Edge

My website has a LinkedIn Share button at the top. This seems to be working fine in Chrome, Firefox, & IE. With Edge, however, we get this ugly error message:

linkedin error message

I used the Share Plugin Generator on LinkedIn's developer portal which generated this script:

<script src="//platform.linkedin.com/in.js" type="text/javascript"> lang: en_US</script>
<script type="IN/Share" data-url="https://www.aoccorp.com"></script>

Why is this not working in Edge while it works in the other browsers?

Thanks, Steve

Update: Interestingly, I experience the same behavior in LinkedIn's own developer blog (https://developer.linkedin.com/blog/posts/2018/deprecating-the-inshare-counter).

Solution

  • Thank you for raising this issue! There is a known compatibility issue with LinkedIn plugins and Microsoft Edge. While our teams are currently working on a solution, you will continue to see these types of errors with Microsoft Edge.
