Windows 10: Disable Chromium Edge Apps

Excerpts from an article detailing how to disable apps on Chromium Edge from running in background when Edge is closed.

Any advantage or not ?


One of the capabilities that have been migrated to the new Edge is support for a background service that would keep running even after closing the browser.

In theory, this service shouldn’t have any impact on system performance, as it’s automatically suspended when you close the browser. It is, however, required for running apps based on Edge without the need for launching the browser.

Contrary to what some people believe, keeping a browser service active in the background doesn’t mean the application collects data or enables telemetry services, as such an approach is required only for apps that can run without an active instance of the browser.


So to disable the background service in the new Edge, follow this path:


Microsoft Edge > Settings > System
As a shortcut, you can copy and paste the following code in the address bar of the browser:


edge://settings/system
The toggle that you must click to disable is called:


Continue running background apps when Microsoft Edge is closed

Edge Chromium, the Reading List

on the Edge feedback forum at

I have posed the following question in response to an existing thread

I wanted to ask this more pointed question:-

　

Will the mooted "offline" Reading List feature that was included in Edge HTML but never fully activated be added to Edge Chromium?

(I did get one reply to a question I posed, I think back in 2015,on the promised offline capability that reply said simply and unequivocably

""At this time, the reading list is not available offline in Microsoft Edge, but we’re working on it for a future update"

　

In my opinion it is a pretty useless add on anyway. because in EdgeHTML it does nothing that adding a URL to the Favorites list already does and now tht Edge Chromium sensibly includes an Internet Exploder like facility to Save a webpage complete you can
save the whole webpage for off line viewing i.e.reading anyway
