    a beta build of Windows 11 in the Canary Channel includes the option for the first time to uninstall the Camera app, Cortana app, Photos app, People app, and the Remote Desktop client.

    Still no Microsoft edge though…

      No longer providing a browser with a consumer operating system is a bad idea. How would you install another browser?

      They just need to stop plugging and advertising it so relentlessly.

        Sure it’s okay they come with a browser, but you should be able to uninstall edge after you’ve downloaded another browser

        That’s the Windows 95 lawsuit all over again. They forced internet explorer on people, got sued for creating & exploiting a monopoly, lost, and had to offer people the chance to remove it.

        They claimed it’s integral part of the OS, and so were forced to un-integrate it.

        I’m sure they will find a way to give users a choice to get rid of Edge, if they really wanted to were forced yet again.
