Dear Microsoft,
Please remove Zip from Edge. The only reason I ever switched to Edge was the slim, unintrusive profile it gave me. Bloatware like this does nothing to support my experience as a user (nor most other's I imagine). On the contrary throwing random apps into the browser feels like toolbar hell from Internet Explorer all over again. Even the coupon tool was a bit much for me, but fully adding third party software into the browser that provides no benefit to the end user (and if it did, they could install it themself) is simply pointless. I know that you are not scared of undoing a poor decision these days, Edge's existence is proof of that. Please, follow your better judgement and discontinue this trend of adding bloatware to the browser. Collections, QR codes, etc. are all great, unobtrusive features; and anything else should be left to the Add-On store.
