Do more on the web, with a fast and secure browser!
Download Opera browser with:
Are you sure it's uninsatlling it? Is the .exe still in the programs file or wherever you put it?
Win10 is known to make Edge the default browser again, with no input from you.
There is a cure for that, but if it's really uninstalling, I have no clue.
Correction, Edge Blocker is a Sordum product. They have a lot of little apps and programs that I can't vouch for, not that there is anything wrong with them, I just haven't used.

Win10 will periodically switch any default browser back to Edge. Don't know if it's a bug or intentional, but it happens to everybody eventually.
Malwarebytes has an app that prevents this, and there are instructions around the web on how to completely remove Edge.
FireFox 64bit for desktop pops up a Horz scroll bar if you zoom past the Horz edge of the screen, on most sites. It doesn't just stop zooming.
I also ran across a new browser called Vivaldi, former Opera CEO Jon von Tetzchner, and a bunch of other devs that left when Opera went Chromium, started it. The 64bit is still a beta, the 32bit's are like Ver 1.x. But it looks really promising, their stated goal is to bring back a fully configurable browser for "the power user". Never thought of myself as a power user. From what I've read they are pushing the requested enhancements to the top of the list. I downloaded the 64 bit and played with it a little, looks really promising. Gonna take a bit to get it the way I want it, worth the effort.
I think they plan on implementing the old right click on a site to bring up cookie rules on a site by site basis, overriding what ever global settings you might have. That tells me they are pretty security conscious.
Near as I can tell the newer Opera's are nothing but Google Chrome with a different skin, and prob a bit less spy ware. Guess I'll be using FireFox and Vivaldi.
Thanks, but, I'm aware there is a zoom under menu, makes thing rather awkward with the additional clicking and scrolling. It is only partially functional, 10% fixed granularity and when you hit the horizontal edge of the page, thats it, no more zoom available.
Don't expect the scroll bar bar to be there if it's not needed, but if I attempt to zoom beyond the horizontal edge, it's needed. I programed some G keys for zoom, (in, out, default), but don't see any way to adjust granularity. And it was great to be able to input, 225%, or what ever, into a visible scroll box and hit enter.
I initially started using Opera waaaay, back, pre V5 because it was faster and customizable, and had security features the other browsers didn't know existed. Somewhere around 11 or 12, (need to fire up the old XP box and see what Ver it actually was) the updates started losing functionality, so I stopped updating. Now jumping to 36 I find it's been dumbed down to mass market, lowest common denominator level.
Is there anything left that makes Opera better than the other browsers? I switched to Firefox on my phone, it's ugly and clunky, but substantially faster than Opera.
Apparently Opera thinks we don't need Horz scroll and an easy to access Zoom.
Some of the add on zoom apps sorta work till you reach the horz edge of screen.
What is latest version that still has a Horz scroll and a zoom control on tool or address bar? Anybody know?
I think I was using Ver 12, or somewhere in that range, but with a new computer, Win 10/64 pro, I decided to install latest Opera -- This is not going to work for me.
A zoom 'button' on the tool bar, with 1% granularity is an absolute must.
Can anybody advise the latest version that has that?
Is it my imagination, or does Opera get dumbed down a little bit every time a new version is released?
