I must have done that a long time ago (yep, I'm old and didn't remember 
) as I already had it set to never (as in "I never use Edge anyway").

I have to use MS Outlook online for two different email accounts for 2 different jobs--- switching between is a major hassle-- I can't have a tab with one account and a tab with the other one, so I run one account in Chrome and one in Edge. That is the only thing I do using Edge.

Hopefully within a year, all the cams I have installed will have stable safe firmware with non-IE options that actually work. I have always found it really strange that Chrome can't write a setting to a camera successfully, though my gut is simply that it's a firmware Failure that prevents it. Or.... is it by design (to attempt to manipulate IE in some way)? hmmmm.

Don’t count on it? Chrome and edge have been around for ages and for all my Dahua cams I still have to use IE.
Yep, including the very brand new most recent 4K/T camera....
Wow. Every cam that I have bought/installed since 12/26/2018 have been working with Edge and I have never had an issue. That's ten cams.
If I use incognito, I have to log in every single time. PITA. I can just leave the Edge version of Chrome running and make life easier.
MSFT got a little more aggressive with this latest update and redirected IE to open Edge in a different way now. They are using a BHO - Browser Helper Object. Yup-- the same trick that scammers would use to take over your browser and put some BS "search engine" in place because you clicked on that porn ad that one time.... but I digress...
You can't disable the BHO, but you can do this: Change the BHO folder name in this highlighted address string to something else, and that will end the hijacking of IE to Edge...
I would bet, like many other browser hacks, the BHO folder will reinstall itself again. You know what to do.
