User reviews
Had to use it for an assignment for a class.
I used it, told me that Microsoft Edge was out of date.
I go to update Microsoft Edge, redownloading it straight from the Microsoft site.
Qualys tells me the following:
Installed File Version: 130.0.2849.46
Latest File Version: 130.0.2849.46
Also says I have Internet Explorer installed?? I don't XD haha
Not great tbh
Install the plugin and immediately redirect me to a web page to install even more software? Uninstalling this deceptive piece of junk.
