Edge Removal 2023

Edge_Removal.bat
$also_remove_webview = 1
why also remove webview? because it is 2 copies of edge, not a slimmed down CEF, and is driving bloated web apps
$also_remove_widgets = 1
why also remove widgets? because it is a webview glorified ad portal on msn and bing news cathering to stupid people
$also_remove_xsocial = 1
why also remove xsocial? because it starts webview setup every boot - xbox gamebar still works without the social crap

after removal can enter into console: firefox to quickly install it, or edge / webview / xsocial to reinstall them
there's some soft-blocking involved in the latest version, so if you want to reinstall edge / webview, do it via above cmds
hybrid script, can just copy-paste into powershell
already includes OpenWebSearch


OpenWebSearch 2023 - redirect microsoft-edge: urls to your default browser

OpenWebSearch.cmd
since v4 works even with Edge fully uninstalled!
if Edge is already removed, install Edge Stable, then remove it via Edge_Removal.bat (to preserve a small stub)
2023年09月13日: ~one year since last update (it's that stable), add even more resilience to feature updates / upgrades,
using a task to restore the needed hard-link if edge got reinstalled by windows and it does not open anymore

supports command line parameters: install or remove
since v6 generate a pure batch script to prevent lame AVs false-positives
hybrid script, can just copy-paste into powershell
yes, a rebranded ChrEdgeFkOff
