Literally first thing after installing windows (yes I know, I use AutoCAD and I’m stuck) on my new build was nuke edge off my PC.
Lol not even, I just keep FF installer on USB. No Edge, ever.
Windows is next 👎🏻
Hardcore opinion 😏
Github has a lot of stuff meant to be run after a Windows install that removes as much of the bloat and spyware Microsoft puts on it and downloads and installs programs you want.
Got any links to repos you recommend?
IIRC I used this one with some of the community scripts. winutil is the one that downloads and installs.
Seeing comments like this is like seeing a battered spouse make excuses for their abuser’s behavior. Sure, you could do all those workarounds, but why should you have to put up with it?
Have some self-respect, kick Windows to the curb, and get an OS that actually respects your property rights as owner of the computer by actually doing what you want it to do instead of letting a corporation weaponize it against you.
Downloads Vivaldi for me
I use winget and don’t have to touch edge
This is just a recycled IE meme. Edge is much better than IE, but not as good as FF.
winget install -e --id Mozilla.Firefox.ESRNo need for Edge
BUT HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT EDGE THE SUPER OR BROWSWR WE PROMISE NOT TO COLLECT DATA AND STEAL YOUR LIVER
----MICROSOFT
Now we need Bowser the Browser.
First, last and only thing you’ll ever do Edge!
Edge is Chromium based, so I discourage using it as your main browser, but honestly, it’s not that bad. Works fine and has some nice built-in features, so there are perfectly good use cases for it
One might say regarding use cases, this is an Edge case.
I’ll see myself out.
I use MS Edge on my steam deck and phone in addition to my desktop
Firefox comes pre-installed in my OS :)
What about Librewolf?
Or install through powershell
There are some government websites that only work on edge/internet explorer. Still. In 2023. It’s the only reason I’ve opened edge ever
Chromium should work for that, give it a try
Active x though
winget install firefox?
