When I found, by accident, where Microsoft temporarily stores the full
offline Edge browser installer which is downloaded, presumably, by the
Microsoft Edge setup installer stub:

Updates because the ioBit program trashed my carefully installed Epic
browser, so I needed to look up the old tutorials on installing things
where they belong, particularly when they only come as worthless stubs.

And the similar (but specific to Epic) thread of:
o What's the best way to MOVE an app to where it belongs, after it has already been installed?
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/microsoft.public.windowsxp.general/hqKijRgHOC0

For a tutorial on how to install all three MS browsers concurrently:
o Tutorial to set up 3 Microsoft web browsers (Edge UWB, new Edge, & Internet Explorer) to work concurrently coexisting peacefully even after subsequent Windows Updates
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/alt.comp.microsoft.windows/hUAf1lnum3E

And for a tutorial on how to install the Brave browser properly:
o Tutorial: How to install the free Brave privacy-based tor-enabled web browser where YOU want it to install (and how to save a full offline installer in the process)
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/alt.comp.freeware/bog50yqc_As

And a tutorial for how to install the last known good version of Epic:
o Save your old freeware Epic privacy browser Windows installer as the new ones changed how they did VPN
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/alt.comp.freeware/7FwuZz7WNSk

All of which support the KISS philosophy of installing where things belong:
oPhilosophy on a tutorial for setting up Windows in a well organized KISS philosopy such that search is never needed & reinstall is trivial

Particularly for web browsers:
o Do we have (yet) an actionable list of all free Windows & Linux web browsers (and their main purpose)?

Such that today, I posted a summary of freeware Windows uninstallers:
