Windows 11 default settings eat up hundreds of MB of memory for Edge even when it isn't being used

Windows 11 default desktop Chat/Teams widgets are Edge web views that eat up hundreds of MB of memory: https://archive.is/pyvEO

Edge also preloads in the background even if it's not the default browser: https://archive.md/AAjz4

Both links also detail how to disable these "features."

It was a settlement, and the federal government has never prosecuted a Big Tech company for antitrust violations at that level since. Coincidentally, Microsoft created an entire division of lawyers to fight the IRS and got Congress to lower the agency's budget so they'd stop auditing them.

(naturally they still have enough power to go after individuals for back taxes)

Yeah, the reality with 'anti-trust' is that it's government extortion.
