Microsoft Edge’s uninstall document promotes the browser over Google Chrome, without any actual removal instructions It features a checklist on supposed advantages over Google ChromeThere’s no official way to uninstall Microsoft Edge, as the control panel only allows for a ‘repair’ It’s no surprise that Microsoft is making more attempts to shift PC users away from other browsers in favor of its own Edge option yet again – but its latest scheme could be a new low point. As spotted by Windows Latest, a new ‘uninstall document‘ was released by Microsoft, supposedly explaining how to remove Microsoft Edge from your PC, but surprisingly, it doesn’t. Instead, it compares Edge to Google Chrome with a checklist (pictured below) of features that it claims are available on Edge but not Chrome (which isn’t completely true) – essentially, it’s doing the opposite of what most people would expect a document about uninstalling an app to do.. It’s a shame that […]

Web browsers are so ubiquitous that once you settle on a choice, your default often quickly becomes a dreary part of your computer’s furniture. At some point in the last 20 years (I honestly can’t tell you when), I switched to Google Chrome and have never bothered to look elsewhere since. I’ve tried the odd alternative, including Microsoft’s Edge and Opera, but never with the conviction that I might one day switch. I also need Google Chrome for work, so having a separate personal browser has never really felt like an option. That was until Opera unveiled its new Opera Air browser. It’s the world’s first browser built around mindfulness. Beyond safety, security, and speed, Opera Air is designed to make you feel better while you surf the web. As a tech writer, I can happily report that the internet can sometimes be a miserable place to live, so when I saw Opera Air was available in […]

Apple just dropped an app that’s all about creating event invites It includes Apple Intelligence features like Image Playground and Writing ToolsYou can easily create a shared photo library with all guests Apple’s been slowly but surely making enhancements to its Calendar app across platforms – iOS, iPadOS, and macOS – but if you were hoping for an easier way to plan events within the ecosystem, your wish is being granted. In fact, it’s in the form of a whole new app – dubbed Apple Invites – and it’s all about event planning. It’s designed to be a one-stop shop for creating the event invite – maybe even using Apple Intelligence’s Image Playground to create the image – from setting a description to building a guest list and sending invites. The app itself will be for creating, sending, and receiving invites. Like Partiful or Evites, it will allow invited folks to RSVP and see all event details […]
