    He's not being prejudiced, he just uses another web browser and has no use for EDGE... many users are like that.

    Actually, I'm boycotting anything from Google, so, Edge is automatically excluded.

    Edge is a bad Vivaldi clone, except that Vivaldi lacks all Google spyware (they spent years doing that) . Edge likely still has it with the addition MS' own crap.

    Having a good idea of what's inside the sources of chromium/and derivatives is PRECISELY my way to be independent.

    What's yours? Being on the unofficial MS cheerleader team doesn't help for sure.

    Win7 only (mostly) get updates on 2nd tuesday of each month, why don't you change WU settings to "never chck for updates"
    and you can check for updates manually

    I couldn't agree more. After seeing all the crap that Google is forcing in Chrome 91, I switched back to Edge. At least MS/Edge lets you disable all the extra useless crap ver 91 of Chromium browsers have.

    @Enthousiast As you may know, on Jan 15, 2022 update end for Edge on Windows 7. Is there any way that a crack can be made to keep getting Edge updates on Windows 7?

    Pwsh7 will apparently now offer updates via WSUS (have taken a screenshot, however am not allowed to post or embed links yet, looks like).
    Do we think this is safe for us, or could it be breaking? In the meantime, I have not enabled this.

    How much money to you want to put on your baseless thought?????? I think that MS in the last year of ESUs, will do everything they can to get people to move off of Windows 7 and that cutting off updates for Edge early, will be one of them.

    How 'bout it @abbodi1406 is there any way to spoof the identity of Edge on Windows 7, so that it can continue to get updates, when Edge on Windows 7 goes EoL in this Oct 2021?
