      Ugh! I really dislike the way that #MSEdge tries to force people through this introduction ... drops an icon on the desktop without asking, pins itself to the taskbar (again, without asking) and then pushes and nags to try to get the user to set it as their default browser.

         @lnxw48a1 And people thought that Microsoft learnt their lesson and stopped shoving Microsoft Edge down their usees throats.

      Maybe I should try to get her a Mac Mini to replace one or both laptops. One brother went Apple ... I should ask him about it.
