I always bypass ever launching Edge by installing with
winget install mozilla.firefoxOr just install Linux.
My custom Windows 11 installer doesn't even have Edge - not even the WebView component. It might have trace files in the system, but they can't be opened or scheduled to run even with elevated privileges.
Zero Edge for me.
Could you elaborate on the custom installer?
last time i removed edge on win11 my svg files and the open with menu broke. It's ok to remove on win10 tho
That's probably because you've installed a full install and removed it later (with inherited permissions or using TrustedInstaller) in which case several things do indeed break.
i used the aveyo script on a fresh win 11 install (since it's compatible eith MSER/MSEdgeRedirect)
