Microsoft Edge is apparently usurping Chrome on people’s PCs

An apparent bug that plays into criticisms of how Microsoft pushes Edge.

@arstechnica

That's one reason why Linux is my choice.

@arstechnica I thought this was already well known. I just fought really hard against Edge. For starters, it basically sets itself to some things no matter what you do -- essentially ignoring several user settings. For another, it's impossible to remove. Attempting to do so results with messages that it can't be removed. (Protip: it actually can.)

So far the best tool I've found to deal with it is MSEdgeRedirect: https://github.com/rcmaehl/MSEdgeRedirect/

I'd rather permanently remove it.

@arstechnica I never use any of the three, so I don't bother what they do
