You can permanently uninstall Microsoft Edge, it just takes some tinkering.

Last time I was playing with a Mac, even the root account was a problem to try and access. Apple are just way too nannying with their devices, but people like that.




I’ve literally never experienced that. If you’re the admin account, you can sudo su no problem.

Unless your company has something locked down. If it’s a consumer Mac, it requires nothing more than a login password.


I'm not talking about sudo su, but actually accessing the root account directly. I remember back in the day I put a file on someones desktop to prove a point, and they couldn't delete it because logging on as root was harder than it should be and they didn't know how.
