Why is microsoft EDGE SO BAD.
It literally BEGS me for using it, Cant i deny/delete it? So safari is GREAT, CHROME IS GREAT, EVEN OPERA IS BETTER THAT EDGE. After every update- THE INTERFACE RESETS MY DEFAULT BROWSER TO MS EDGE. AND SAYS it Is the ''Recommended browser for Windows by Microsoft'' ABSOLUTE CRAP.
Why are you forcing me to USE IT? LIKE SERIOUSLY?

Hello!
Windows behavior is correct!
Updates often make default settings intentionally!
You can change this after updating the Windows system!
I could similarly rate the browsers that you mentioned as useless - for me for many reasons, but these are my private ratings!
I would add that synchronization of microsoft account after the update is thanks to Edge, not by Safori, not by Chrome!
I would add that the new edge is a light browser with great parameters!
Good luck
- Mate, my concern is the UI Changing my settings everytime, I cant obviously update the settings all the time, And what do you mean by parameters? Scattered settings literally copying other browsers, and doesn't let me uninstall the thing? or well disable it. And the fact that I cant turn of the live news updates. ITS HARD TO FIND THE SETTINGS.
- Hey. all the settings in microsoft edge are very transparent and easy to find. Maybe you're not even trying to find and you want everything in front of your eyes automatically.
And I'm using Edge (the latest version in my time) and not facing any such issue where I update my browser and my settings go to defalut. So I can't help you with that.
You can try google chrome though, which by giving you a nice UI steals all your data (more than microsoft, we all know) and is slower than Edge (noticable if you have a slow internet) and eats up all your RAM.
It's totally up to you which you prefer.
Hi there, you are welcome to the Microsoft Tech Community!
So I don't know which version of Windows you are using but if you are using Windows 10, you can report this issue as a bug in the feedback hub app. You need to try to do this because I think the issue is on Windows' side rather than on Edge's side.
I too find it strange that Microsoft's browsers are so glitchy, especially since Microsoft is supposed to be a premier programming company and I am using Microsoft's browsers on Microsoft's OS. I never seem to have problems with other browsers though - just Microsoft's. This seems ridiculous to me. It appears to be the case that Microsoft's competitors can create better browsers for Microsoft's OS than Microsoft can. If I were the CEO of Microsoft, I would be embarrassed by this fact. Microsoft Edge! Microsoft Edge! It's better than ever! Sure it is. My current version won't stay open for more than 10 seconds before it crashes. I barely have time to reset the settings before it crashes. By the way, resetting the settings doesn't solve the crashing problem. It also crashes too fast to make any other changes. And "REPAIIRING" it doesn't work either. Hey, I have an idea. Why not just create a great browser that works consistently, and then, once that has been actually accomplished, start cajoling people into using it. In the meantime, I would appreciate having the option of deleting Microsoft's browsers from it's OS.
TheShaunSaw mate i have updated it a million times I dont think its a bug.
