The registry edit no longer works and hasn't worked for quite a long time now. Eventually Edge will reinstall itself, even when i forcibly disable Windows updates until the year 2099 it still comes back. It's literally like malware.
My biggest gripe with Edge is that when I "close" it i still have 10+ microsoft edge related programs running in the background and have to shut them down manually in task manager......wtf is this sh**???
I have never written a comment about a video on RU-vid before now, however, you most certainly are "the exception to the rule". Thank you so very much for this video on how to UNINSTALL MICROSOFT EDGE. I have watched numerous videos on this very "irritating highjacking" of my computer and not one of them was successful. I followed your instructions very carefully (I'm not a TECHY) and to my surprise, it has GONE. ONCE AGAIN THANK YOU.
@@AndriyTechThe wifi where I live is so corrupted. It says the website is unavailable - just like they do with all websites they want to interfere with. I will take my laptop to somewhere else and see if I can uninstall it from there. I hope so. I agree with the comment that Edge is malware. What can we expect from Bill Gates, after all. The Technocracy is organized crime! Mark Zuckerberg is actually the brains for them. Hevis really Robert T Morris. He obviously is a CIA operative. He destroyed tens of thousands of computers Dec 1988 - saving the Apples deliberately. He disappears, And red-haired Mark Zuckface appears! No Jew has red hair! He thereafter cut it and dyed it! He considers people in general to be fum-ducks. He was quoted that. A professional told me this. They are psychopaths, loyal to the Washington DC organized crime.
THANK YOU SO MUCH... this is so much better than the long string of powershell commands that half the time don't work, then you have to search for the one that will work to make it to the next step. and thank WISE uninstaller for an awesome product PS - you might want to add installing the edge redirect/hijack tool to point anything edge "attempting" to chrome
OMG, I had a hard time due to Edge. But you make me handle it! Even though im not a good english speaker, this video is so easy to understand! I really appreciate it!! You save me
see how many user hate edge. I also deleted edge multiple times but it's always come back. Hope this time work by this instruction. I facing with edge with high cpu and memory consumption.
Thank you for the video! Question? I am on a WINDOWs 10 machine and performed the removal as you suggest. After completing this, I go into my APPS and seee an EDGE UPDATER is still present even though I did the DoNotUpdateToEdgeWithChromium add on? Suggestions What I did wrong?
people that say "if you hate it just don't use it" are the same people that would be fine for M$ to have its data to be collected Great video man, just wanted for an easy way to get off that pest that microsoft forces in my throat, you must always have a choice to uninstall unnecessary crap forced by third parties, it's your computer, not theirs.
Try going into your Windows (C:), Program Files (x86), look for the 'Microsoft' folder (where Edge hides) and delete everything in it (you may need to go into the settings somewhere and allow yourself full control - I can't remember exactly how to do this I'm afraid). Then delete the 'Microsoft' folder itself. Empty your recycle bin and restart your computer. Edge should be gone. If it isn't, there's a free online programme called 'IObit Uninstaller'. Have a search for it. That should get rid of the remaining bits of Edge for you. This has worked for me for the last year (retired plumber in England.)
When it was in bad shape, I had to remove it from the computer… But now, after corrections, it’s incomparable even in madness, faster, prettier, and most importantly, there are no boring ads on RU-vid… I don’t think other search engines can boast about it, nor ad blockers.
No, it is a bloatware mess. No matter how many times you try to disable some of it, Microsoft will reset and the bloat is back. I don't have the time or energy to fight with Microsoft. It used to be good 2 years ago when they switched to Chromium. But Microsoft ruined once again a browser lol. I uninstalled this mess some days ago, finally the option to uninstall it available to me since I am in EU. No more edge nonsense runing all the time in background for making the cluttered mess the call new tab page to load somehow faster.
@@BJFPV Brave the browser from an ad company who wants when they grow up to become Google (that's why they market their hate for Google so much lol) that has crypto and their own ads by default and installs vpn windows services without user consent? No thanks, I'll pass lol.
I followed your directions and I successfully deleted Edge. But Microsoft Edge Update appeared today, a few after I deleted the browser. How do I delete this? It doesn't show up on Wise.
Saw a video that the new Outlook app that Microsoft implemented is depending on that Edge is installed. I don't use the app, but someone will do that and maybe find out that the mail app not working properly after uninstalling Edge.
No, it uses edge webview2. This is what you need to keep. The browser can be uninstalled. I am in EU and I uninstalled Edge (the uninstall option is available to me now) and outlook app is working fine. Microsoft doesn't have a choice. They are forced by EU to allow the safe uninstallation of Edge. At least for us in EU.
Just a short add-on: After successfully uninstalling the WebView2 component, I found out that MS Teams doesn't work without it (the App-version, not the browser-version only). Maybe I overheard this in your video (I remember you warned that there may be side effects, but I desperately wanted to get rid of Edge, so I did not care too much 😂). Could be a small point worth mentioning it - if you ever plan an update of the video.
Why does microsoft keep pushing this crap for people? No one, no single person use it! Im only using it at work, as at work you not alowed to install any other browser! You forced to use it! Its unbeleavably slow, crash so many times, lot of work hours lost just because of that! Pointed that to the manager and he talked with it! Now we have Chrome installed - not the best option, but finaly no edge use no more 🤣 BTW non of those options work no more to remove edge! Yes they do remove it, but 2 - 3 days later the edge reapears again! 🤔🤦♂
Yes, but Google is smarter than Microsoft. Chrome has less bloatware and you have a clean new tab page, not the cluttered mess of edge, no "system boost" nonsense and having chrome running all the time in background, no shopping "features" inside chrome, no games built in, no gemini buttons coming from everywhere. I wouldn't use both, but Google is definately smarter than MS, they know how to keep Chrome's marketshare.
Edge is a piece of garbage browser that no one uses. Everyone despise edge because is to bloated and crappy. Their bunch of liars. They steal our data and also forcing everyone to use it against user’s will. No wonder crappy edge market share is decreasing due to their dirty tactics. Crappy edge is digging its own grave.
shut up lol, if you think that's too much trouble, better you don't see the dudes doing all the debugging stuff on their own with cmds... or even worse, better you don't look at people trying to install windows 3.1 and older when there was no always online stuff, barely any internet, dealing with only a cmd and floppy disks...
@dreaper5813 If Linux is for you sure, but a lot of programs still don't work on Linux. Windows works great for the average user if they don't go on breaking their system for no reason that is.
