    Nothing I use requires WebView, and if it does, I will stop using it. I know Vegas Pro 20+ installs it, but I just uninstall it again (or just use v19) and it does not break Vegas, though I'm sure it breaks their crappy Vegas Hub bloat, but that's a good thing.

    I probably would not mind leaving Edge/Webview as a backup browser if M$ did not force it and install 3+ full copies of it all over the system. Originally Edge Chromium was not too bad, but M$ being M$, every release since is just bloat on spyware on bloat. The Edge install folder contains two full copies and Webview a third, plus updaters, services, scheduled tasks, copies of the update installers, etc. etc. It is just a massive, land fill of bloated pig slop! W.T. Actual F.?

    I agree with you, I don't like it either, but unfortunately I can't work without it. Although yes, I have another main browser.

    Just a heads up,
    Installed win10 iot.. did updates, removed edge with the edge remover.bat
    Then no Wifi.
    Tried to connect a few times,
    It would seem after removing edge it changes the Firewall settings.
    I ticked a few boxes in the firewall and then i had wifi and internet once again.
    I don't know if the script could re-enable those settings in the script to allow Wifi to connect again.
    But it would be nice if the script did..

    Even if it's possible to remove Edge, you could think twice before do it, because if something happen and you don't have Internet access and you want to download any app, you would need to reinstall the whole Windows. It's better to just simply keep Edge disabled (for example, never open and delete the "Edge" folder in %LocalAppData/Microsoft).
