No, Microsoft won’t tell you how to uninstall its Edge web browser, which is heavily integrated into Windows 11.

      Holy shit man, that’s hilarious yet also infuriating. Scummy tactics from Microsoft as usual.

        It should get them a fine for false advertising, plus get ms links demoted in search engines.

    Me: Uninstall Edge.
    Them: You can’t uninstall Edge.
    Me: Why not?
    Them: It’s integrated into Windows
    Me: So I can uninstall Edge
    Them: No, I just said–
    Me: Uninstall Windows
    Them: No wait!

    Didn’t they get in trouble years ago for the same “integrated” bullshit with IE?

      Oh yeah, and they definitely learned their lesson by paying 0.00001% of the profits they made by doing it. So for sure this is not the same thing because that “punishment” totally worked, right?.. Right!? ʘ‿ʘ

    I use Edge for exactly one thing: Power Automate.

    I know you can use it on other browsers but for my very simple purpose, it fits the bill.

    Every fucking time, the browser asks if I want to make it default. The answers are “Yes” and “Not now”.

    WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO “NO, DON’T ASK ME AGAIN”?!

      That option has been removed for your convenience. Isn’t nice to not have control over the hardware you paid for?
