Microsoft Edge will stop begging you for attention (in Europe, at least)

Microsoft is adjusting its approach in the European Economic Area (EEA) to comply with the Digital Markets Act by implementing several updates. Microsoft Edge will no longer solicit users to set it as their default browser, although reminders may still appear temporarily. This change began with an Edge update on May 29. Additionally, users who uninstall Microsoft Edge will not receive prompts to reinstall it, except for progressive web apps using Edge technology. Microsoft is also introducing an option to uninstall the Microsoft Store, with updates for previously downloaded applications continuing. This feature is expected to be available later this year for Windows 10 and 11 users.

Microsoft acknowledged the mistake and removed the Copilot entry from Windows Server with Edge 124.0.2478.67 in April, and from all versions and editions of Windows with Edge 126.0.2592.56 in June. The Copilot entry did not run any code in the background and did not extract data from users' PCs.

Microsoft Edge has seen significant performance enhancements, with a 42% increase in UI speed in version 122. The time to expand or collapse items in the favorites section has been reduced by 40% in version 124. Microsoft addressed issues with complex UI code structure and reliance on JavaScript for rendering, leading to improved performance. The WebUI 2.0 project aims to create smaller code bundles and reduce reliance on JavaScript. Microsoft plans to continue improving responsiveness across various Edge features.
