“Are you suuuuure you don’t want to use Edge? Are you suuuuure you don’t want it to be the default handler for .pdf and .svg files? Are you sure? Are you sure you’re sure? Just in case, we’ll pin it to your start menu again and put a shortcut to it on your desktop. Just until you’re sure.”

I got so annoyed with the fucking shortcut reappearing that I put it in one corner of one monitor that I hardly look at so it never appears on my main desktop monitor.

Just out of sight and out of mind.

lol I did the exact same thing. That and all the unnecessary crap my work installs that I will never use but can’t even uninstall the damn shortcuts they slap on my desktop are all jammed in the corner of a monitor off to the side.

Apple’s starting to get more and more into this. Safari pesters you and nobody wants NEWS/Stocks/AppleTv App, Weather, etc. But you can’t uninstall them :(

I can always count on at least one idiot to mention Apple in a Microsoft hate thread.

I think you should go back to Reddit if you want to engage with people like that just crazy out of the gate.

I was able to uninstall all of the apps you just mentioned on iPhone just to cure my curiosity.

Which Apple device is not letting you uninstall those apps?

MacOS not iPhone. Should have specified

No worries! I was just a little confused when I tried it on my iPhone and it worked.
