Microsoft’s ‘can’t uninstall Microsoft Edge’ support page is hilariously telling – The Verge

Look, I make certain that the new Microsoft Edge is a wonderful web browser. Im looking forward to trying it sooner or later.

Microsoft, I have a piece of recommendations for you: if so really lots of Windows users are googling “Cant uninstall Microsoft Edge” that you feel the need to absolutely own that search outcome by making it the title of your FAQ … possibly simply do not force it on Windows users to begin with?

Heres a screenshot of the brand-new support page, for posterity:

To be clear, Im not saying Microsoft should not have updated users to the brand-new version of Edge, particularly after todays announcement that Internet Explorer and legacy Edge will be totally phased out exactly one year from now. Continued security updates are essential!

Instead of telling users what efficiently boils down to “you cant uninstall it because we chose not to let you,” possibly Microsoft could take a hint and give users what they obviously want. Heres how Google search volume for “uninstall Microsoft Edge” has actually evolved in current months:

By the method, you apparently can still eliminate the brand-new Edge. (Strange how Microsofts page leaves out that.) Youll simply need to be comfortable with a few shell commands.
