Dev channel update to 102.0.1235.1 is live
Hello Insiders! Today we’re releasing build 102.0.1235.1 to the Dev channel. I know I mentioned last week that this will be the final build for the Dev channel for 102, but it’s looking like it won...
The amount of bloat you keep baking into Edge is overwhelming. MS Rewards, this new Side Panel (and button that cannot be hidden), Alerts and Tips, Web Capture, Discover, Collections, etc.
You should modularize the architecture of Edge so that all of these things would be separately installable as add-ons so that people can really choose what functionalities they want. Google already realized this in Android years ago and started to separate built-in apps of Android to Play Store. Several years later Microsoft also realized this with Windows. Now it would be a perfect opportunity for you to do the same with Edge.

I agree that most of Edge should be modular excluding basic components like Favourites (Bookmarks), Downloads, Extensions, Apps, and performance tools.
Examples of things that should be optional modules:
- Edge Bar
- Microsoft Rewards
- Collections
- Citations
- Maths Solver
- Internet Explorer Mode
- Casting
And many more!
Plus allow unlimited customisation of the context menu as it is a mess. So many small changes would go a long way they (Microsoft) just need to listen and work hard and quickly on things their users want rather than useless things that might forcefully generate a little income for the larger company. If they want people on board for the long haul you have to work with them!
