I figured, why not try the #msteams #PWA via #MSEdge on Linux? The answer soon became clear. Edge kept forcing itself as my default #browser, a classic example of Microsoft's "integration strategy". Such a #shady company. Uninstalled and won't be repeating that mistake. #linux #microsoft #privacy
#msedge
Who has successfully installed #MSEdge on #fedora42 ?

In case anyone is reading and trying to figure out how to remove Microsoft Edge from a fully updated Windows 11 install:
The guide listed below still works, but only once you downgrade Edge.
You can downgrade using winget. I used UniGetUI, which uses winget on the backend as well as other sources.
The version I tried is 124.0.2478.97. Going too far back gives an error.
After that you need to execute this tool from an elevated command line prompt:./vivetool /enable /id:44353396
(The program is available here):
https://github.com/thebookisclosed/ViVe/releases
Reboot.
After that just add your country to the list of countries in the European Economic Area and mark them as eligible for uninstall. (See guide below, or the summary)
The file you want to edit is Windows\System32\IntegratedServicesRegionPolicySet.json.
- You need to give yourself permission to edit the file:
File properties > Security > Advanced > Change (link next to the owner at the top)
- Here, type Administrators and hit the button on the right of the text field, click Accept.
- Select Administrators from the list and click edit to give yourself write access
- Click accept on all windows to apply changes.
Here's the edited code block:
(...)
"policies": [
{
"$comment": "Edge is uninstallable.",
"guid": "{1bca278a-5d11-4acf-ad2f-f9ab6d7f93a6}",
"defaultState": "enabled",
"conditions": {
"region": {
"enabled": ["AT", "BE", "BG", "CH", "CL", "CY", "CZ", "DE", "DK", "EE", "ES", "FI", "FR", "GF", "GP", "GR", "HR", "HU", "IE", "IS", "IT", "LI", "LT", "LU", "LV", "MT", "MQ", "NL", "NO", "PL", "PT", "RE", "RO", "SE", "SI", "SK", "YT"]
}
}
},
(...)disabled to enabled and snuck Chile (CL) onto the list of eligible countries. Your country code is set at install time.
You can find it by opening regedit (press Win+R and type regedit) and going to the key
HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\International\Geo\Name. That's the country you're supposed to add to the json file on the main post.You might need to restart. Now you can uninstall Edge from the settings. Enjoy, until Microsoft fixes it anyway!

@jalefkowit I just found out about this a few days ago that it's been available for months!
I've been waiting for this since #Opera introduced Tabs to the Browser world.
Opera then introduced Tabs to any edge of the window. Opera split into #Vivaldi, and now Vivaldi supports awesome tab groups and stacks.
#MSEdge also picked up Vertical tabs for quite a few years now too.
#FIrefox has resolutely resisted having first-party Vertical Tabs all this time. Amazingly ridiculous.
Microsoft Edge and Interop 2025.

#Microsoft is quite something: I've already switched the search engine in the #Edge browser to google. And I deactivated their Bing-"home" tab that shows up when opening.
... And yet, with the latest update every empty tab has a search bar in there with - you guessed it: Bing!
And no way to change it or turn it off.
They are bizarrely brazen in their ways of force-feeding users their crap.
Why I Switched to Firefox and Never Looked Back
Despite their questionable for-profit business decisions, I still prefer Firefox. This is someone else coming to the same conclusion.
For me, Firefox had two irreplaceable features:
- Effective ad-blocking extensions
- Multi-container browsing
If you haven't used multi-containers, it started with their Facebook container. It isolated Facebook and kept it from seeing all your other cookies and website info. They made it an extension so you can have as many as you want and put whatever sites you decide into them.
Edge has Profiles which are similar but much more complicated and harder to keep separate within a single session.
That's a Firefox killer feature to me.
That and not crippling ad-blockers.
