    Windows keeps trying to install edge chromium through an update.


    I don't like the edge chromium version and I have the old version (because it's better for reasons). This is the 2nd time it has installed edge. I turned of the "Receive updates for other MS products" but it still updated today afternoon. Can someone tell me how to stop this ?

  3. how to uninstall chromium

    Hi Scott,

    Chromium is the open-source web browser project from which Google Chrome draws its source code. The browsers share the majority of code and features, though there are some minor differences in features and they have different licensing.

    I appreciate if you can provide us the following information to help us understand the issue better.

    • Do you get any error while you try to uninstall the chromium browser?

    • How did you install the chromium browser? Is it through Windows store/third party website/any other source?

    • Does the issue persist only while you try to uninstall the chromium browser/ any other programs?
    You may follow the below suggestions and check if you are able to uninstall the chromium browser.

    Follow the below steps if you have installed the chromium browser through the setup file or through the other source.


    • Press Windows + X keys on the keyboard, and select
      Programs and features.

    • Here you will be able to see the list of programs installed in your computer.

    • Right click on the program which you would like to uninstall and click
      Uninstall.
    If you have downloaded the chromium browser through the Windows store, open the Start menu, type chromium in the search bar, right click on the chromium browser from the search bar results and click on uninstall.

    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
