Space Shooter build not showing in Edge/ Internet Explorer

So I'm pretty new to unity. Batteled myself through the Space Shooter tutorial (very nice btw!), but got stuck at the very last part: building with WebGL (no webplayer anymore).
The building goes perfectly well, I have all the files. But when I try to open it in the browers (just by opening the 'index' file) it does not work. Edge shows me a white screen with nothing in it and Internet Explorer shows me the following:

Please note that your browser is not currently supported for this Unity WebGL content. Press OK if you wish to continue anyway.

when clicking ok I get a back screen where the game was supposed to be.
Also when using the build and run option, I get the same result.

do I need to install some sort of plug-in for Edge? or is this a problem in the Build settings/ Player settings?

Thanks!

 

You've encountered a limitation of Microsoft Edge. According to my searches (links below to the articles), Microsoft Edge only supports WebGL 1.0 and Unity, as of release 5.5, is using WebGL 2.0. There are no plugins to my knowledge to solve this problem but even if there were plugins are no longer functional on modern browsers (including Edge).

You'll need to upgrade to either Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox.
