What happens if you uninstall edge and you don't have any other browsers?

How do you reinstall it or install a different one without a secondary computer?

[–] odelik@lemmy.today 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

wsl --install

sudo apt update

sudo apt install firefox -y

You can use winget via powershell winget install firefox

Or you use the Microsoft store to install another browser

It does specify the European economic area for (EEA) for these changes. Looks like I'm living in Europe ;)

I always hear people complaining about ads on their win 11 and it confuses me, as I've never seen a single ad in my win 11 install.

In what section are the ads showing up?

It seems in some cases when it comes to protecting you from industry practices can only be handled by government agencies.

I wonder if this affects any of the telemetry systems they use to send user data back to the mothership (Microsoft servers)? I haven't looked into it in a while but there used to be a powershell script to disable a lot of it in the registry.

I wonder whether Microsoft makes enough money on analytics and ads worldwide, minus Europe, to split off a separate dev team. I hope not, but I think they do… Please choose the easier, objectively better option and just make these a checkbox for everyone, windows.
