Why do you want to kill Edge?

At this point, as an average user, it honestly feels like you’re trying to sink Edge — and dragging Copilot down with it — all in the name of MSN. MSN is one of the most cluttered, bait‑and‑switch‑heavy, pseudo‑news sites on the internet. Every time I click something that looks like it might be an interesting story, it turns out to be poorly written, is slanted by opinion, or is a slideshow designed to force me through a maze of ads. Half the time, the headline promises information that never actually appears.

And yet, this is the experience being forcibly glued into Edge like the annoying little brother your mom makes you take everywhere. I’m simply done. I’m tired of hunting for ways to turn it off, only for it to pop back up like a bad sitcom reboot.

The frustrating part is that you actually have something great with Edge and Copilot. Copilot is far more interactive and helpful than Gemini, and much easier for everyday people to use than ChatGPT. But all of that potential gets weighed down by something users didn’t want, didn’t ask for, and can’t fully remove.

MSN is fetch. It’s not going to happen. So stop forcing it down our collective throats.
