Amazon is killing the Appstore for Android in August, ending support for installed apps

The Amazon Appstore, introduced in March 2011 for Android phones and tablets, will be discontinued for Android devices on August 20, 2025. Users will no longer be able to download or install applications from the Appstore on Android devices, and there is no guarantee that previously installed apps will continue to function after this date. The Appstore will remain operational for Fire Tablet and Fire TV devices. Users could previously synchronize app purchases across devices, but this feature will end with the discontinuation. The Appstore initially offered a "free app of the day" promotion, and many users may have older paid apps linked to their Amazon accounts, which will only be accessible via Amazon Fire devices after August. Amazon is allowing a six-month period for users to adapt and cancel subscriptions tied to the Appstore. Additionally, Amazon is phasing out Amazon Coins, with purchases ending on February 20, 2025, but users can use remaining balances until August 20, 2025, after which unspent Coins will be refunded.

Sorry, you’re not getting Microsoft Edge off of your PC, at least according to its new ‘uninstall’ document

Microsoft has released an 'uninstall document' for its Edge browser that focuses on promoting Edge's features rather than providing clear instructions for uninstallation. Users can only find a 'repair' option in the control panel, with no official way to fully remove Edge. This strategy appears aimed at encouraging users to keep Edge, despite its competition with Google Chrome. The approach is reminiscent of subscription cancellation processes that use persuasive tactics to retain users. The document's intent seems disingenuous, as it does not facilitate uninstallation. This strategy may lead to increased user aversion to Edge.
