Uninstall Button for Edge Chromium is greyed out. Is it intentional?

vineydhiman Thanks for reaching out. 

 

Rohit Yadav and Jussi Palo are correct! Here's a little more information about that:

 

  • On Windows 10 PCs, when you receive the new Microsoft Edge via Windows Update it will replace the legacy version of Microsoft Edge on those devices.
  • PCs running Windows 7 or 8 originally shipped with Internet Explorer. Because of this, when those devices receive the new Microsoft Edge, it will run alongside Internet Explorer; it does not replace the browser. For those who choose to uninstall the new Microsoft Edge, Internet Explorer will not be affected.
  • Microsoft recommends the new version of Microsoft Edge for better performance, privacy, security, and productivity.

Chromium sucks people.  You've taken away features and forced an update onto unsuspecting consumers.  THIS is why people are NOT buying Windows and simply using their iPhone, iPad or other Apple devices and dumping PC's left and right.

We're not your slaves to experiment with anymore....

    ronbok You said Chromium. Then don't use Chrome, Firefox, or anything.

    Sorry to say that but .... apple don't let safari be removed and Google (android) don't let WebView and Chrome be removed) so your argument isn't valid.
