We are using the Microsoft OLE browser object in PB 2017 and PB 2019 (we're migrating over).

Does the Microsoft OLE Web Browser object still use Internet Explorer or does it use Edge?

We are having issues with the new native web browser since it doesn't support the Document model and we use this to gather/scrape information from a web page.

I am pretty sure that the HTML DOM can be accessed with Javascript which can be called from the WebBrowser control using the EvaluateJavascriptSync function.

Adding to what Roland send, Microsoft OLE Browser is an obsolete feature that is no longer being supported or enhanced by Appeon.  We recommend you switch to the new Chromium-based WebBrowser control (available in PB 2019 R2 and newer): https://docs.appeon.com/pb2021/objects_and_controls/ch02s150.html

It is still IE. Edge is based on Chromium, just like Chrome and the WebBrowser control.
