This is what it looks like, when random people make laws about something they do not understand.
Edge is not just a browser, it is a system component, it can be disabled or blocked, but not removed.

In the end it will be like Windows without WMP, where people ended up installing WMP afterwards.
I can already see the lawsuits of people being unable to access internet after uninstalling Edge/Store.

Rather than choosing France as your location, why not choose Ireland, as they use default English Language?

Also to note that I have had Edge removed/disabled from my system since first installed W11, and I have bing and all the 'feedback' URLS blocked in my pi-hole/DNS server. I never get nagged, and I don't see Microsoft ads anywhere. I've never had any problems with system instability, and I can still use the Windows store (not that I ever need to, as you can use Winget, chocolatey or whatever should the need arise). Oh, and GamePass and MS365 work fine too.
