Im a computer dummy. I downloaded from a sketchy website by accident (accidently pressed the fake download when i was pretending to as a joke lol). The file that downloaded (twice) is just called install and does not show up in my files. Everytime I try and search on edge, it sends me to a different browser with the same search or to a random online store. Any help?

    Easy.

    Go into EDGE and go to the 3 dots in the upper corner and click on them

    go to Extensions

    Delete any Extensions you have there.

    close and reopen EDGE and see if it is still happening.

    IF yes

    Try another browser to see if it happens there.

    Get back with me with and let me know if it works or not.

          I was super against opera GX and their whole advertising to the cringe gamer type, but I downloaded it and personalized it a LOT, and it’s now my favorite browser. It’s got so many features and almost all of them are togglable, so you aren’t forced to use anything that doesn’t fit your needs. Highly recommend! (Especially if you have a lower end machine/your machine is under load a lot, since you can tune how much ram/cpu the browser can use really easily :D)
