News Microsoft click-baits users with useless 'How to Uninstall Microsoft Edge’ instruction doc

Toggle sidebar Toggle sidebar
Methinks that answer to "ask how to uninstall Microsoft Edge" was written by whatever AI think Microsoft uses.

No different than all the other AI crapbots. Human sounding, giving little real information.
 
I think it's kind of funny that they (probably some intern, or maybe Copilot Plus) went through the trouble of making that site and didn't just say what Google says when you ask how to uninstall Chrome from Android

Use another browser​

If you don't want to use Chrome, you can install and use another web browser.

I have a friend who's girlfriend clicked on a wrong link which flashed the typical "you're PC has been infected, click here" which locked her PC. She even went as far as calling their bogus 800 Microsoft number. Yup, she paid them via CC to fix the bogus virus.

I much prefer the method macOS and Linux uses. It just becomes extremely difficult to mess with a user who first has to enter their password and macOS for the last few versions separates the partitions for the OS and data.

Windows UAC is still not the answer although elevating UAC to its highest security level helps some. I'm still surprised that Microsoft hasn't gone the password route like the others. But with Windows still using a registry for the OS still makes it susceptible for all kinds of nefarious stuff.
 
Hmm, the article it links to (from 2023) says Chrome's share is 60% and Safari 26%, yet this article says Chrome 67% and Safari 18%. Why the discrepency?

Also, saying Edge only has a 5.2% share is misleading, because that includes ALL platforms including mobile devices. If we look at only desktops, Edge's share is 13.8%.

That's not really Safari either. Apple products allow you to install another browser, but those aren't really browsers. They only allow front-ends that use WebKit and that shows up as Safari.
 
Maybe if MS started respecting user choice they would not have a nobody-is-using-our-browser-issue.

That will no doubt be a people are leaving our NSA back door PUA/Spyware OS., problem soon.

Come October this year, i think they are going to be shocked at how many are actually leaving windows. Their own fault.

The constant nagging that MS does is a PITR to deal with.

I have all notifications off. All categories. For all apps. Nothing is allowed to remind me of anything. But because i had a "sub-category" of the "main" choice on but "main" box off it took that as permission to serve ads even though the actual check box was grey as well as not allowed due to main controller box being off.

They are taking the mickey. They really are.

I was getting ads for Edge and pop ups asking me if i want to make Edge my default choice. Knowing that i had it all off i had to go and check. as to why i was still getting served ads by MS.

If i wanted edge to be my main browser, i would have done so.

Edge/Windows is no longer in the business of making an OS a user can use. They are in the business now of serving ads, like google, and hoovering up as much data as they can before restrictions start coming on what they can collect. The law in the US when it comes to data is way behind. They have no GDPR unlike us in the EU who are protected.

Did the US/EU not mandate that the browser not be integrated into the OS? Here we go again. Round two.
