Remove the "uninstall" option from the site icons pinned to home screen in Android
This even happened to me and other people that I know, we wanted to remove a site icon that was pinned to home screen and thought selecting "uninstall" will remove it but then we realized it actually deleted the whole Edge browser from Android!
the "uninstall" option is misleading. on Edge Windows 10, the uninstall option on sites pinned as PWA, only uninstalls/removes the site, doesn't uninstall the whole browser. on Android Edge should have the same behavior.

I couldn't agree more HotCakeX . I've done it twice myself losing all other pinned shortcuts doing so.

Jacques Van de Meerssche and HotCakeX , thanks for bringing this to our attention. This behavior is a surprise to me as well and sounds like a bad bug. I'm investigating.
