MicrosoftLearn how to solve math problems with Math Solver in Microsoft Edge
We are excited to announce that you can now use Math Solver in Microsoft Edge (version 91 or higher) to get help with a wide range of mathematical concepts–from elementary arithmetic and quadrati...
Hi,
Thank you, this is very great,
but I really think this should be an extension in Edge addons store, and not part of the browser by default.
I understand you can disable it or use group policy etc. but the files and component is still in the browser.
extensions are modules, people can add/remove them at any time. this math resolver is not something that I would use often, so I don't want it in the browser, but a lot of students and kids will find it useful.
I would Really appreciate if you decouple it from the browser package and put it in the Edge addons store, as an exclusive extension/addon for Microsoft Edge, so that only those users who want it will add it to their browser.Thank you
People outside academic? I haven't run a poll on 8 billion people in the world but I think and as the post says, they are mostly targeting students and education systems. outside that group, people barely use browsers to solve math on daily basis.
the opposite should happen, this needs to be removed for the majority of people, offered as an extension only to those who want it, which according to the post, is mostly education system, students etc.
of course there will be group policy for central management.
during the exam, this is the least thing teachers need to be worried about.
this is available on web site, app on IOS and Android too.

and there are a lot more apps and services that offer the same features more or less.

It is helpful while study to verify the result but during exam time teacher are worried and I received request like how to disable Calculator app and the Math app is one exam and there are other and even if you search for basic math formula in Bing or Google, they have basic calculation.
Even though, I am not in the academic world and not dealing with math, but sometimes when I come across such a formula in PDF files, it is nice to have problem solver handy where with few clicks, I could find the final answer. Personally, I believe it would go beyond the educators and whenever there is a math formula , it would be handy.

"sometimes", that's the problem, you do it only sometimes, I never need to do it.
this is why it should be removed from browser and become available as an extension for only those who want it. something that probably only 2% or 3% of users would use shouldn't be there by default. that's not logical.
