Microsoft has abandoned an online document that was apparently to attend to those who wish to uninstall the edge browser, but in fact, it was an attempt to deter those who thought of removing the application to stay with it.
We informed about the “uninstallation document” last week, which came in the form of a web page that, from the search results, seemed to refer to the elimination of EDGE of its PC.
However, when sailing on the page, it turned out that the document was about comparing Edge with Google Chrome and exalting the virtues of the first.
When this reached the headlines, there were a few people who were not impressed by this attempt to persuasion hard, as expected, and now Microsoft has shown the website, as Windows Last noticed.
When you try to visit this page now, the Microsoft edge portal is redirected, which is still to promote the benefits of the browser, but without any pretext that this can help you, it must be taken into account).
Analysis: A misleading tactic that needed to be canned
As it is likely, Microsoft has a long story to boost people to use Edge, which goes back to, well, at the beginning of the browser. The Windows operating system has long played the host of several push -ups, or direct ads, pressing the edge, so it is not exactly a surprise to see Microsoft having tried another angle in persuasion.
The misleading nature of the search result, compared to the content of the website (when it was still active), was the real problem here, and I am not surprised that Microsoft has quickly dropped this.
What worsened it was the appeal to click to ‘uninstall the edge’ when for most people (outside Europe), there is no official way to completely eliminate the browser of a Windows 11 installation. This is due to That other operating system bits depend on the code inside the edge, or this is Microsoft’s position on the matter, anyway.
You can eliminate all shortcuts, etc. To the browser, and ignore it, but in reality you cannot eliminate the application as such. He will still be sitting there on the bottom. (In addition, I must clarify, you can attempt To ignore it, but it will appear again and again with some regularity in the form of suggestions in several Windows parts that Edge should use and to be its predetermined browser).
One of the most frustrating elements about all this is that Edge is a really good product: it exceeds our list of the best web browsers, but with constant attempts to promote it, Microsoft is more likely to move away the people of the application. , not in the fold.
