Consequences of Removing Edge? (lemmy.today)

If I remove Edge, Will there be any consequences?

Flashback:

I removed edge and onedrive using Chris Titus Tech's Winutils. In the tool itself they mentioned that removing edge is not recommended. But I did it anyway.

Now for some reason, my library folders (music, videos, etc) reset to their original location. ( I changed it to a custom location).

All I have to do is change it back to custom location. ( No data loss happened).

But what I want to know is that, Are there anymore consequences that I am not aware of?

some apps rely on edge to render an auth page

I find it quite stupid to rely on a particular browser instead of whatever the default browser is.

Even the need to have this conversation is infuriating.
