Nor is it compatible with many financial or credit cards
sites. I've got Edge killed on my laptop.

I'm curious as well since Edge cannot be removed from the PC without
deleting crucial files associated with the operating system.

When I took the free Windows 10 upgrade it came with that annoying
Edge browser and it wanted to default to it constantly. Finally
Norton asked if I'd like to disable it permanently? YES!!

There are some discussion sites that will walk you through disabling
it. I do not see it in my start-up menu nor programs installed on
my laptop. All I know is I NEVER see it or get a pop-up wanting to
start Edge and haven't seen it in a year and a half.

I'm a happy camper.

Ayep. Which is also the reason why I copied the post here. Edge does
some rendering work for some applications that don't actually have
'code' for a GUI...As in, executable code.

This isn't new to Windows 10, though. Windows XP did it too. Norton
Antivirus 2003 was a rocking example of what I'm writing about, too.
it's gui, including the installer was html pages, rendered with the
IE built into Windows XP. If something was wrong with IE, you
couldn't actually complete the installation. Even if norton itself
had no problems, you couldn't complete the install, because, it was
dependant on IE doing the heavy lifting.

This concept does reduce development time and costs, since you don't
have to write actual code for a GUI, but, it has the side effect of
requiring the rendering engine you're using instead to be working
correctly.

You can disable edge from being 'used' er, by you, to some level,
but, it's not totally dead and you aren't going to actually remove
it, either. Windows 10 depends on it for behind the scenes work that
users typically don't give a second thought to. As is clearly obvious
if you read the replies to this thread. Sheesh!

This is what happens when various companies with power elect to 'dumb
down' the computers and convince users to treat them like they would,
say, a toaster oven. Malware still requires the PEBKAC to do it's
thing, most of the time. And, that's plentiful; Hell, it's more
plentiful now than it ever was. Just take the replies in this thread
for an example of it.

I rarely use Windows but have a few Win7 machines that I decided to
upgrade to Win10. Though MS said the offer for the free upgrade has
expired, it's still good. Once the machines were upgraded, all was

Well, since you asked...

I have taught several university classes, per the request of the
instructor/professor. As an expert guest on the subject. [g] It's not
everyday you can get a published, internationally recognized, actual
'hacker' to attend your class and help educate the future. Not a
script kiddie mind you, but, the real thing. ROFL!

Granted, they were specialized classes for very specific IT related
concepts. So, the 'students' already had a general idea of the
subject matter and I didn't have to hold their hands or use crayons.
They understood the material well enough that I could get specific
and actually use my time to teach them some finer details of
it...Rather than explain, say, how some applications use Edge on
Windows 10 to 'render' the GUI, because they don't actually have
executable code for one. Like, oh, say, this topic.

Have you farted in a space suit?

Don't you have some prisoner to take your aggressions out on? A rough
ride, cold shower, something along those lines mebbe? You know,
you're field of 'expertise'

I bet you got off on beating up the smarter kids you went to school
with too, right? Can't compete with them on functional brain matter,
so you opted to show your physical power over some of them instead.
Am I close?

Same here. Edge doesn't allow you to organize, manipulate bookmarks
and it now stores them in a system type file that isn't human readable.
I tried it for a few days and the drawbacks far outweighed any benefits,
ie I've yet to have the need to mark up a webpage and send it to someone.
I can see how that would be useful for some people, but not really for me.
So, I too went with Chrome.
