MicrosoftLearn how to solve math problems with Math Solver in Microsoft Edge
Hi,
Thank you, this is very great,
but I really think this should be an extension in Edge addons store, and not part of the browser by default.
I understand you can disable it or use group policy etc. but the files and component is still in the browser.
extensions are modules, people can add/remove them at any time. this math resolver is not something that I would use often, so I don't want it in the browser, but a lot of students and kids will find it useful.
I would Really appreciate if you decouple it from the browser package and put it in the Edge addons store, as an exclusive extension/addon for Microsoft Edge, so that only those users who want it will add it to their browser.Thank you

Firstly, thank you for raising concerns around the potential perf impact for users who are not interested in using the new Math Solver tool. Browser performance is a top priority for Microsoft Edge and we are glad to see the passion around this from our community :). We are leveraging new capabilities in the platform to deliver a Math Solver experience only to those customers who need it without impacting the browser performance for all other users – all while being natively available.
Here is how it works: the files required to power this feature are downloaded only upon first use to the user’s computers, thereby having zero impact on footprint or memory for users who do not need this feature. Resources such as RAM and CPU will be used only when the feature is being used or when there is an update in feature bundle. Hence, there should be no impact at all for users who do not use this feature.
Our goal with Math Solver is to bring more equity in learning by democratizing math learning for students who need help but are unable to get it or afford it. We would love to hear your thoughts as we try to figure out ways to bring this to reality while ensuring the browser meets the expectations of all other users. We are listening and ready to learn 🙂 .
