WTF?! Microsoft has removed a recently introduced document called Uninstall Microsoft Edge, which, rather than explaining how to remove the company's browser, did little more than compare Edge to Chrome and highlight reasons to avoid its rival. Microsoft created the Uninstall Microsoft Edge on Windows 11 document on February 6, reports Windows Latest. It made several headlines due to the fact that it didn't actually tell people how to delete Edge. Instead, it listed six features that Microsoft believes give Edge an advantage over Chrome: Copilot, Vertical Tabs, Designer, Coupons, Read Aloud, and VPN.Courtesy of Windows LatestWhile there are plenty who will argue Edge is better than Chrome despite Google's product holding around 67% of the global browser share Microsoft's misleading behavior led to significant online backlash. It appears that the company was using search engines to identify those wanting to uninstall Edge and hoped to change their minds.It seems Redmond has now decided the negative publicity wasn't worth it. The page has been deleted, and visitors are being redirected to Microsoft's Edge portal.This is the latest tactic Microsoft has used to try to increase, or hold on to, Edge's share of the global browser market, which is currently around 5.2%, according to Statcounter. // Related StoriesIt was reported last month that searches for Chrome using Edge and via Bing (when signed out of your Microsoft account) on Windows 11 result in a "promoted by Microsoft" banner appearing at the top of the search results. The banner claimed there was "no need to download a new web browser," and hid the Chrome download links underneath, blurring out the small portion visible at the top.Microsoft previously told people that Chrome was "so 2008" and Edge was better, and placed full-size Edge ads on the Chrome website. Edge was also accused of stealing data from Chrome without users' consent in January.Microsoft boss Satya Nadella recently said that Edge has surpassed 30% market share in the US on Windows and has taken share for the last 15 consecutive quarters. However, independent analysis puts a question mark over this statement, though it's likely that he was using a different metric that inflated Edge's market share.
