Interested administrators could install the Chromium-based Edge manually on supported systems prior to Microsoft starting the migration via Windows Update. The browser would be pushed to systems only if Microsoft did not detect its installation already on the system. The company made the decision to roll out the web browser over time to monitor the distribution.
The switch to Chromium enabled Edge to make use of the huge array of extensions found on Chrome, not to mention the fact that it’s fast, has a clean design that fits well with Windows 10, and is also available on Android and iOS, so your settings and bookmarks will be available no matter which device you’re using.Microsoft started to push the new Chromium-based Microsoft Edge web browser via Windows Update to Windows devices. In fact, here’sīefore you discard Edge, we recommend you spend some time trying it, as it’s actually a very good update to the previous iteration. There’s no shortage of great options available, as you’ll find in our roundup of theīest web browsers, and the process is very simple. How do I change the default browser in Windows 10?Ī much easier way to remove Edge from your life is to delete any shortcuts to the app on your desktop then switch the default browser to one you prefer. After all, the OS fully expects the browser to be there, so removing it against the wishes of Microsoft could end up breaking something further down the line or causing issues with Windows updates.
You can of course, get around this restriction but it could be a self-defeating thing to do, as there’s no telling what features or underlying code requires Edge for other parts of Windows to work. This will be apparent to anyone who tries to use the usual uninstall methods in Settings or Control Panel, as the option to remove Edge simply isn’t there.
