Edge is required for web search

By disabling this, does it mean I'll be able to set Firefox as the default browser to open when doing a web search from the start menu?

I use MSEdgeRedirect to redirect both the search engine and the browser used by start menu searches.

None of these settings should be controlled by Microsoft. It's my computer, Satya.

Sweet, even less garbage to clutter up the ol gaming rig.

Maybe one day game devs will enable anticheat on Linux so I can finally uninstall the shit OS.

Just install Linux already. Have any inevitable windows requirements? Run them in a VM until you can get rid of them. Fuck Microsoft and their bullshit

As an artist, the hassle of running a VM can actually kill creative flow. Same with alternatives.

People underestimate how much such a tiny can completely disrupt flow of thoughts, esp for creative works.

It's not even laziness either. It just "feels wrong"
