Hello Listers,
I upgraded to Windows 10 about 3 weeks ago and have been struggling with Edge ever since. The message belowwas the first indication that I had noticed that JAWS does not support it and that there are other problems with it. I installed IE 11 and that has made some things easier, but sometimes Edge takes over when I’m on the Web and problems return. My Question: Is it possible to uninstall Edge so that IE is left as my only browser? If it is, could some one please tell me how to do it, or point me to some instructions. Many thanks in advance, Ian Ian D.

My comment was solely meant to reassure listers that IE10, like IE11, remains supported, unlike the situation with IE9.

The introduction of Edge with Windows 10 is the debut of the intended replacement. Edge is definitely a good browser but equally definitely nowhere near to maturity and it was released without a number of features, add-on support being the most obvious, that are now considered essential for any browser to become or remain competitive. There is absolutely no way that Freedom Scientific or any screen reader maker is going to be able to remain with IE as the default Microsoft browser over the long term. Having this in the back of your mind may at least help to ease the shock when the inevitable announcements come about the shift to Edge or the decision to throw over primary support to Chrome, which is eating the shorts of every other web browser out there in terms of user base these days.
