Microsoft will let users uninstall Edge, Bing, and disable ads on Windows 11 as it complies with the Digital Markets Act::Microsoft has published a blog post detailing how it’s making Windows 11 compliant with the Digital Markets Act (DMA) in the European Economic Area (EEA.)
Yes, Europe. But assuming it was everywhere; the problem is “let users”. Why the hell don’t we own what we buy?
Users can already uninstall all of this easily enough with powershell. I assume what this ruling changes is that they have to let users uninstall with the standard tools, which was disabled because it may break things that rely on edge and they didn’t want people doing it accidently.
