While I have installed Firefox and have it as the default browser, Windows still opens Edge at any chance it gets. Plus Firefox, Chrome, Chromium and Thor browsers are fine browsers. I haven’t tried it though but have too much negative emotional baggage from Microsoft to even give it a try. Hopefully Microsoft will have some sense to replace the front with chromium too and just dump Edge.Īfter a decade of shoving a shitty browser down its loyal customers’ throats, I find it really hard to believe the 2022 version of Edge to be anything but disappointment. After that fiasco they surgically replaced the engine from TRINET (legacy engine dating back to 1990s) to chromium. Microsoft started constantly false-advertising IE 10 and 11 and Edge.
We have been hearing that since 2009 when Internet Explorer went under. “It is fast, reliable, secure, better than chrome, blah blah” Microsoft says. Microsoft Edge is THE BROWSER for windows.
Happy malware free browsing! Rant Appendix Go to Settings -> Apps -> Apps & Features and search for Edge in the search box. You can still repair Edge from the settings app. That should do the trick! Windows will still try to launch Edge from system UI such as start menu but it will fail. There you can run from the cmd line: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\.43\Installer> setup -uninstall -force-uninstall -system-level There should be a folder in there corresponding to the version of Edge you have installed. Open an elevated cmd prompt and go to the following folder:Ĭd %PROGRAMFILES(X86)%\Microsoft\Edge\Application Don’t worry there is nothing special about it. If you are fed up with Microsoft shoving Edge down your throat like me, follow this simple guide to get rid of the Edge malware.
