Windows IoT Enterprise 11, kept trying to reinstall Microsoft Edge, once a month, with every Windows Update.

The folder:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft
It was basically Microsoft Edge, Edge Update, and Edge Web View, and I wanted none of it. I had gotten into the habit of deleting the folder and using a registry cleaning to clean up loose ends.

Finally got tired of fighting Microsoft nonsense, and decided, if I was going to have Microsoft Edge on the system, I may as well install the Canary edition. May as well have the bleeding edge copy.

I used to trust #Microsoft more than other #bigtech platforms, mostly because I used #Excel a lot in my work.

I switched from #Chrome to #EdgeBrowser a long time ago for work (and use #Vivaldi for private stuff).

However I just had to set up my work profile in Edge again today, and Microsoft's #consent for #tracking has really gone to shit.

Look what they consider to now be 'Always Active' (i.e. not requiring consent): [picture]

@FlashMobOfOne I'll do you one better. I'm uninstalling #Windows wholesale, because I have finally lost interest in harboring corpo malware/gov #spyware on my devices intentionally anymore, which doesn't seem to offer any valid advantage itself over other systems anyway.

#windowsupdate, #msstore, #msdefender, search app, #edgebrowser, shell-embedded ads, nonstop logging and telemetry, things just refusing to function reasonably because Windows knows that it's a day that ends in "Y" -- Windows ceaselessly masturbating itself in various elaborate ways finally ran out my last iota of sanity.

In my assessment, the point of me having my computer was for me to use it, not just to have it sit there wasting time touching itself — and galavanting in the background with my system resources as if it had worse ADHD than me while I seethe and reach for the #ProcessHacker on my taskbar that I've kept perpetually open with Admin rights for most of the last decade (along with #ResMon and #TaskMgr; in order to combat Windows' defensive strategy of gaslighting the user about what it is or isn't doing) — instead of actually doing what I tell it to.

Anyway, enough about bad operating systems. Anybody happen to feel any particular preference between #CrunchBangPlusPlus (#!++) and #BunsenLabs #Debian? Haven't decided yet which I'm settling on (I have them both loaded on a #liveusb using #Easy2Boot / #Ventoy), but I was a daily driver of og #CrunchBangLinux back in the day.

Anyone in #webdev ... are these legitimate user agents?

Surely Microsoft would not let their UA read "Edg" missing the ending e...

I've been getting requests for website content the past few days to totally random stuff *that I am actually hosting*, from completely random IPs all over the world... just seems very odd.

Just sent this to my work peeps. Someone here might find this useful as well.

Browser du jour - now I use Vivaldi everywhere

Started with Chrome. Then Google forgot the whole "Do No Evil" motto

Switched to Edge which is Chrome from Microsoft. Can't remember why I ditched them

Went to good old privacy-loving Firefox for a long time. Had some issues with a few sites recently with FF

Tried to install Brave on my work laptop, but Brave is blocked by [Company] because they hide traffic.

Installed Vivaldi which has some of the same privacy features as Brave. Plus Vivaldi HAS TABS ON MOBILE which is very exciting.

Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.
