Just got the latest version of Edge update (or/and other MS services?),

I you don't want to use Edge, don't. There's no need to delete it.
Simply set whatever browser you prefer as the default.

That's what I do.


And by the way, I meant to add that as much as I dislike it, Edge is not
malware; it's nothing like any form of malware. I dislike it because
it's clumsy and its UI makes it more difficult to do the things I want
to do.

That's a far cry from what malware does.

I should also say that despite its bad history, it's not a bad browser
and stands up to all the usual suspects.

He says nice things about a Microsoft product? *HERETIC*!
*BLASPHEMER*! and also probably quite fair-minded. They ain't the Evil
Empire. That's G, T & FB.


As far as I'm concerned, Microsoft is neither great not terrible. It
does a good job on some products, a mediocre job on some, a poor job on
some, and a terrible job on some (Edge is one of the terrible ones).
With rare exceptions (Excel, for example), there's a better choice
available for all Microsoft products.



It's entirely a matter of taste. You're welcome to that opinion, but as
far as I'm concerned, it's the worst of all available browsers.

Nah, nowhere near. Internet Exploiter 6 was *dreadful*.


Note the word "available" in the sentence you replied to. I was
referring to currently available browsers, not ancient ones. Is IE6
still available for Windows 10 (Windows 10 is what this newsgroup is
about)? I don't know but I strongly doubt it.

Moreover it's been so long since I last saw IE6 that I remember little
about it, and I can't compare it with Edge. Was it worse than Edge?
Maybe. Maybe not. I don't know and I don't care. I'm only interested in
the choices available to me *now*.
