Registry key to disable (most of) the bloat in Microsoft Edge

edge-debloat

Registry key to disable (most of) the bloat in Microsoft Edge. I did it just for me, but decided to share. I don't need any browser functionality other than just being a browser, so I disabled many "features" one may find missing. In this case look how to customize registry key for yourself.

Before installation

Starting Edge after adding this registry key may delete your profile because of explicitly setting one profile, so do a backup of profile directory first. To find your profile's directory, look at the page edge://version/, value of Profile path:. I'd appreciate feedback on this.

Installation

Download edge-debloat.reg from main branch and install it with admin privilegies. Run Edge, go to edge://policy/ page and press Reload Policies button. You have to Reload Policies after every update.

Updates

I'm trying to keep this policy up-to-date with newly releasing changes described on this page: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-relnote-stable-channel

If you think I missed something important, or I disabled something important (mainly I'd care about security functions), feel free to create issues/pull requests
