Two nights ago my computer did an automatic Windows update. Interesting timing. They loaded a new version of Microsoft Edge to my computer. My home page now automatically goes to Bing, and includes all their ‘Biden Wins’ headlines. I had previously changed my home page to DuckDuckGo. I haven’t yet found an easy way to change the homepage on this new version. Also, I’m getting a “Not secure’ warning in the url field when I visit sites like Free Republic.

Yes, Bing is something I have to occasionally fight. When I bought my all in one computer, I recall that it said something about agreeing to use bing for searches.

I had my grand daughter fix my homepage to the site I wanted and selected the news feeds that I wanted. Still now and then bing would intrude.

When that one crashed a few weeks ago, I had an older version which I set up with the same stuff. Later the computer automatically updated, and bing tried to intrude again, but I had the link saved. So after using that link, a few times, it quit doing that.

Use a different browser, such as Firefox.

My homepage is set to FR, so I miss all the 4am headlines.
