Is JavaScript Debug in Microsoft Edge (MS Edge) supported? Follow
My desire: to run JavaScript debug run configuration with Microsoft Edge, NOT GOOGLE CHROME.
My Problem: running my JavaScript run/debug configuration opens Google Chrome, not MS Edge.
Theory: I know MS Edge uses Chromium underpinnings. That's probably why there is no MS Edge web browser "family".
My Question: Is it currently possible to force Javascript Debug run configuration to use MS Edge and not open Google Chrome?
Why not just use Google Chrome? Because I hate Google Chrome. The developers are idiots. They removed the reopen closed tab if you right-click on the tabs for no good reason. That's 1 of 100 different reasons I switched to MS Edge.

Unless I misunderstand you, I already did / tried that. In my screenshot above, you can see "MS Edge" which is a new custom browser I added manually. It has the path set to:
and the Family set to Chrome.
I did all that and it was still pulling open Chrome.
Now, when I just retried it, it pulled open MS Edge. I don't know why it wasn't working or what I did in the meantime (reboot? cleared cache? not sure) but I'm glad it DOES WORK! I'm so glad to see it works. Thank you for your help Elena.
JavaScript debugging can be performed using Chrome and Chromium-based browsers only.
This should work for Edge in principle (as new Edge is Chromium-based), but the IDE doesn't currently treat Edge as a Chromium-based browser, fixing https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/WEB-45326 should take care of this. For now, I'd suggest setting up Edge as a new custom browser in Settings | Tools | Web Browsers:
Browser will be available with Chrome icon in run configuration dropdown
