How to dump Microsoft Edge, PLEASE

Anonymous

I don't want Microsoft Edge as my default browser, and when I go to "Settings," under "Default Browser," there seems to be no other option. Can you help me change to something else, please?

I don't want to be subjected to Microsoft's bogus "news" stories (propoganda) on startup.

Thank you.

    You need to download a different browser first and the go to defaults and change to it.

    That does not work for many Insiders as it should at this point in cycle.

    I have Firefox in addition to the 4 Edge browsers (Edge, Beta, Dev, & Canary) and Firefox works great with Windows 11. Sometimes I have issues with sports channels in Edge browsers even though I have been using Edge since 2015.
