Consequences of Removing Edge?
(lemmy.today)
Welcome to the community for Windows 11, Microsoft's latest computer operating system.
Rules:
Yes, some apps rely on edge to render an auth page, something I discovered this week with a debloated clean install with no edge, I could not connect bambu slicer to my 3d printer as the login page is rendered using edge, for the way I use my printer this is a must for me so had to install edge. It was worth noting that it was no obvious at first what was wrong as the app simply had no loging buttons visible and took a bit of digging to figure out the issue.
That was because CTT WinUtil and other scripts also remove WebView2.
That can be installed separately to restore the functionality.
For anything that uses Edge directly, there is MSEdgeRedirect.
Idk about other scripts but Winutils remove everything but do provide an option to install Webview2.
Thank you, I'll look into it.
I find it quite stupid to rely on a particular browser instead of whatever the default browser is.
Even the need to have this conversation is infuriating.
