How do i permanently uninstall edge? Other than just moving to Linux?
So Microsoft was fined a ton of money for making IE uninstallable, and they're now doing that shit again? Surprised, but not really
We're they fined? I heard they were penalized with nothing. And boy, did they learn a lesson.
Yikes... I remembered them being forced by the government to do stuff. I just read about the outcome again and it's so fucked up... Yeah you are right:

So yeah, they agreed to do some stuff temporarily, for the appearance that something was done. They should have been fined a LOT and also forced to allow uninstallation of IE WITHOUT A FUCKING EXPIRATION DATE
CTT Windows Utility
Uninstalled it months ago and haven’t seen it since. You can also set updates to only install security updates 4 days after release and feature updates after 2 years of release.
This and StartAllBack are my answers when I hear “just install Linux and ditch windows”
I have some scheduled tasks that make sure it doesn't come back, if you don't go to pretty ridiculous lengths, it'll be back after every update.
My scheduled task largely just nukes the edge directory every time the computer boots and or I log in.
Unfortunately I think Windows re-installs it every major update so you'll need to be running a tool to uninstall it each time
it does, and it sucks. I think i just live with removing the shortcuts/links and trying to forget about it. My personal PC is linux now, but this is what I do on my wife and kids' computers.
