I used only the Uninstall Tool and it seems the uninstall button just disabled the Edge as it still shows in the Start menu search, but without any icon. After clicking it, it shows a black window for a few seconds before closing. Also, I'm on Windows 10. And you also need to get rid of the Edge WebView. You can uninstall that directly from the Control Panel unlike Edge itself.

There are actually some applications that depend on the Edge webview runtime if I'm correct. But still, idc about Edge lol.

@@huizengek9677 Same. But the runtime has to be obviously a chromium based thing.

zamn, Microsoft Edge is trash because it has a defualt browser, also Ive been using edge since 2021 and im switching to chorme.


I'd rather use iexplorer than MS Edge lmao


Idk why microsoft just made msedge almost impossible to uninstall


I still think Windows 7 is better, even in performance.

Older OSes are better in performance, yes

@@tucatheman Because nowadays the devs think we run on a newer hardware so they can push on us

In gaming performance, w7 is behind about 5% in FPS, 0.1% lows have the biggest improvement on w10 and w11 still needs optimizations.
Otherwise, same story w10 slightly faster, w11 faster but less and w7 "slower" but not something you'd ever notice because we're humans and not robots who notice a 100ms program open delay.

This small difference is mostly because they got rid of the aero stuff from the WM.

Blue screen OS aka Windows 7? No way. Last time I used Windows 7, it was bluescreening almost immediately after boot.

@@hmwndp well I guess it depends on the device and device's condition for that reason


no way! I’d use edge over that any time, and edge sucks


I can understand wanting to uninstall edge, but why would you replace it with chrome :DD

yeah pick firefox or epiphany or konqueror or something (the last 2 idk if they work in windows)

What's wrong with Chrome? Because it's simple to set up and most used browser. My opinion. I know, Firefox is ahead.

@@thisfeatureisbad It's worse than Edge. Edge also runs on Chromium but it's nowhere near as resource hungry as regular Chrome.

he was playing the role of a non-tech savvy person, of course he had to install Chrome to make it authentic

@@tauon_ Falkon is very similar to Konqueror and runs on Windows.

@@Mate_Antal_Zoltan why would a non-tech savvy person try to uninstall edge?

iirc firefox can just 1-click setting it as default browser


But why tf would you want to uninstall it? It is way better than the crappy chrome in many aspects, it has more features, sleeping tabs function which is awesome on old pcs, performance mode. It's more customizable. And just looks better and more "windows-like" than Chrome. The reason people like Chrome that much is because they got used to it, chrome was one of the first 'more popular' browsers. Of course i'm not hating other browsers, Firefox for example is a great browser too.

I mean its so fricking annoying just existing in your operating system, actively trying to get you to use it even tho I prefer more private browsers and don’t give a fuck about it

Why would you want to give up your freedom of choice just because Microsoft intended it that way? Edge really doesn't have more features, mostly because it actually runs on chromium - which is very funny if you think about it. Sleeping tabs? Oh yeah Chrome does that out-of-the-box. Want to try it? Just open a few thousand tabs, wait a minute or so and come back. Then see for yourself; most of the tabs will be reloading when you open them. Want since when is Chrome crappy? The performance is overall better, but it really depends on the machine you are testing it on. And lastly, why would you want to care about the 'Windows-like' feel? That is ridiculous in my eyes, please explain.

I’d quite like a bit of whatever you’re smoking

But you can pretty much use every browser you want. Firefox is a great if not better alternative, and even more 'private' browsers are an option, such as Brave, or even Chromium, which is completely 'un-googled'.

because I install brave and get an ad blocker out of the box plus other neat features like tor windows

@@huizengek9677 Notepad and OG Paint from Window are enough for me.

@@huizengek9677 Because i like when everything or at least the things that can be, like the browser in this case are consistent in terms of design with the rest of the OS.

i can see these replies really start picking up steam

@@huizengek9677 You were talking about that Windows-like feel.

@@thisfeatureisbad Oh right, yes I don't like the new design either, mostly because control center almost gets replaced and it removes the old customizability of Windows, mostly advanced settings. OG Paint ftw.

oh hell no, edge <<<<<<<<<<<<, it was interesting with its own engine, but when it switched to chromium...

@@nyxelplex it then became like..... not boring, I can't find the right word for that. Like, not that "interesting"

i would rather give my data to google that MS. on the xbox, edge is perfect, even tho it has no extensions

If you want to use a different browser, why keep a unused one?

@@dolanD2 I mean, I didn't see any ads on youtube on brave, which is all that matters to me

well, maybe opera gx is exactly the same as it but way better and more adjusted to 90% of the people using browsers.

Chrome is everywhere

Edge is chrome
Edge is chrome
Opera is chrome
Chrome is chrome

firefox is the only big browser that’s not chrome

L edge and chrome<br>W Vivaldi and firefox

@0n0 Why would i care about my data being tracked or collected? I'm not a criminal or whatever. I don't know what's up with people caring about their privacy that much.

@@ThisIsChilled that's a surprisingly accurate username you have there

@@tauon_ yeah lol, i have bad experiences with them.


I uninstalled edge on windows 10 in under 5 minutes with no tools, I just deleted its files manually from its directory bru

Bro, it's not quite right. Some Windows components are built on Microsoft Edge code. You can delete browser, but you can't delete some other things from system.

Oh, and more right you can do it through PowerShell and Delete-AppX-Package as admin

Well, it will get reinstalled as Windows will think something got corrupted.

@@thisfeatureisbad nah it didn’t, i also did a windows update that actually made edge completely vanish, it doesn’t even appear at the start menu now

@@ArtyomR_102 I know I can do it with CMD but I was at a VC with some friends at that time messing around with my real computer (stupid) and my friend told me to try deleting edge, I thought it wouldn’t cuz, yk micro$oft but it actually did. If you want you can test it on your own. And yes some stuff may still not be deleted, but I just did it for fun :D

@@eclair1616 It should re-appear on the next big update. Microsoft has a tradition to install the Edge on every new xxHx update. (21H2 for example) It was a pain for me to remove it again as it got set as a default browser for me 😑
