No longer providing a browser with a consumer operating system is a bad idea. How would you install another browser?

They just need to stop plugging and advertising it so relentlessly.

It has built in package manager now (winget install Mozilla.Firefox would install Firefox on clean Win11 installation).

IK I was just poking fun at windows, but the average user (a grandma or other non-tech literate person) won't know it even exists, plus it doesn't resolve the issue that, aside from a few maybe legal scripts, you can't uninstall edge. Still a step in the good direction though.
