Instructions to block Edge browser on Windows 10

One of the new features built into Windows 10 is the appearance of the Microsoft Edge browser (formerly Project Spartan) and in the future it is very likely that the browser will completely replace Internet Explorer.

However, Microsoft Edge does not support cross-platform, does not support extensions (up to this point). In addition, when using Edge, you cannot sync and open bookmarks on different computers like Chrome or Firefox.

In addition Edge also has many common vulnerabilities like those on Internet Explorer. For these reasons, many users do not like to use Microsoft Edge browser.

By default, you cannot completely uninstall Microsoft Edge browser settings on Windows 10. However, if you do not want to use this browser, you can block it on Windows 10 using the Edge Blocker tool.
