    I'm rather mystified why I would need this. I never see Edge anyway unless I decide to launch it for some reason or other. Strangely enough on one occasion Edge rendered a page which neither Chrome nor IE would (no I don't recall what the page was).

    Ditto....I can't see the point....I also can't see the point in hating something like a browser you never use........What a waste of energy...

    When I click a link in an email this automatically opens an edge browser (despite edge not being the default browser) to display the linked site.


    Is there any way to stop this?

    If you go into Settings | System | Default Apps is your preferred browser specified under Web Browser?

    I didn't know you were running Windows 10.

    Edge isn't so bad, and if you don't like it, just don't click on it, easy enough. I recently had a website that didn't like Chrome or Firefox, and would only work properly in Edge (groupon I think), so it's not bad a browser.

    I know it's fashionable to bash anything Microsoft, but often it's unwarranted.

    So why doesn't it have a menu bar ?
    I much prefer FIREFOX

    I like Edge, fires up quickly, works smoothly. I have all my favourites set up across the top, easy to access history etc. The same as a lot of browsers but simpler.

    I do also have Chrome, IE and Firefox, but my normal usage one has now become Edge.
