Actually, it's called Linux Redmond 1.0.

or Windows FU (Windows For You). Mandatory M$ account with valid credit
card required for WFU to function. Monthly access fees "low as" $49.99
(really $79.99+ but all businesses lie, they call it "taxes and fees").

The easiest way is to stop using Windows 10 and start using
something that is more junk than Windows 10.

I use Edge and I love it. My default browser is Microsoft Edge.
I also keep Firefox on my machine as sometimes I need to load web
pages that I develop to test it for compliance over the board.

Microsoft Edge is alright but just about every browser is a lot more
compatible with pages than it is.


I like IE much better after my go to browsers.


You must be the one person on Earth who prefers Internet Explorer over
anything.

Still, I admire your loyalty to Microsoft.


You just you made me feel bad and wrecked my day because I still use
Internet Explorer. I bet you are really going to get on me when you realize
I am posting from Outlook Espress. Running these on Windows 10 Pro :-).

Default [Solution] Microsoft Edge at start up- how to stop it?

The simple to follow instructions on that page says:

'Select which apps can run in background' with a host of toggles
against the apps, including 'microsoft edge'.


Not on my Windows10 it doesn't!

I'd be using Firefox but swore off of their products when it was
revealed that they donated to a group associated with Antifa. Chrome
would also be interesting but it's Google and they love spying on
their users. As such, I stick to Vivaldi simply because it is neither
and unlike Edge, it's actually pretty good.

I think Thunderbird is a great program, but I use Forte Agent for
Usenet instead. Again, it's all about principle and I'll gladly use an
inferior product if it means that an organization I can't stand can't
claim me as a user in their statistics.
