Hi
I really dislike the attitude where 'they' know best, forcing their ideas onto the users.
It's like 'I wrote this, so you will use it!'
Well, I will NOT use it and, I WILL find you and I WILL destroy you! (the Discover stuff that is 🙂 )
EDIT: thanks to numerous kind people, who all offered a RegEdit script to do the task and I am now Discover free - told you I would!

Well, I was a long time user of Firefox but had to abandon due to issues with scrren black outs with Youtube videos. I tried for quite a while to deal with that but never managed to get it sorted (even Firefox ignored questions). So, if and when I abandon Edge, then I will try a few of the other browsers available. I agree with you regarding the bloatware. Some of the ideas that 'they' dream up with have little to do with a browser - they seem to have aspirations to turn Edge into an 'everything you could ever want' application instead of just a clean fast browser.
