Stable version of Edge insider browser
Looks like another Stable version of the new Edge browser resurfaced on Microsoft Servers.
this is Not a coincidence, bug nor a mistake, it's intentional. I just don't know why not put it on the front page.
Anyway, this so called stable version can't be uninstalled.
it neither lists it in Control Panel’s Programs and Features nor allows to uninstall from Apps & Features in the Settings App.
Previously when we installed Edge stable version we were able to uninstall it like any application by visiting Programs and Features in Control Panel or by visiting Settings > Apps & Features, where for Microsoft Edge, Settings app displays Modify and Uninstall options, this is not the case in Windows 10 version 1903 running build 18362.418.
The Hunter mode button of Revo Uninstaller also fails to find and display Microsoft Edge for advanced uninstall. at the moment the only solution seems possible is using the system restore.

It was my post and what I experience and the pictures are from Microsoft Windows, no copyright infringement or anything happened (nothing was even copyrightable) , but accusing and blaming other members is against code of conduct and I have reported it.

In for a dime, in for a dollar, I guess.
To help Microsoft access my comments, the following is a roadmap underlying my observation that "A quiet note: The following material (text and graphic) appears to be directly reproduced from parts of the article "You can’t uninstall Chromium-based Microsoft Edge Stable from Windows 10", dated October 12, 2019, appearing on the Techdows website."
Taking your post as a whole:
(1) The following constitutes original content:

I also stand by my observation that reproduction of this material without attribution is "a possible copyright violation". When I posted my comment, I noted that "I assume that the lack of attribution in your original post was an oversight." I expected, frankly, that you would quickly correct the situation by attributing the reproduced materials to Technows. I did not expect your response, which I find baffling. I leave it to Microsoft to sort out (a) whether there is a "a possible copyright violation", (b) whether either or both of us has violated the "Microsoft Community Code of Conduct", and (c) take appropriate action.

HotCakeX The so-called "Stable" version is almost certainly a build being used for internal testing, probably an internal build related to deployment testing, as was the last "Stable" version hosted on Microsoft servers. Because the build seems to embed into Windows 10 and replace Edge (Classic), Microsoft is probably testing with an eye to "replacement deployment" when Microsoft releases Edge Chromium to the public.
The one thing we do know is that the so-called "Stable" build is 78.0.276.14; that is an older build than the current Beta version (78.0.276.17) released some weeks ago, so it is not a "pre-release" build for public testing.
- That's exactly what I thought, but then I wondered if it's only for their internal use, why make it public, unless they want others to use it too
though about the versioning, Stable will always have a lower version number than Beta so considering that it might have been stable, the version number would've been correctHotCakeX "That's exactly what I thought, but then I wondered if it's only for their internal use, why make it public, unless they want others to use it too ..."
It isn't "public" in any meaningful sense, because (a) the link is not published on the Microsoft Edge Insider site and (b) the link is not published on the Office365 site that hosts the link, either, as far as I know. The code for the page takes it out of the search path, as well. It is "public" only in the sense that if you know the URL, you can get to it. That is no different than the previous "Stable" build, which was also clearly internal.
Good luck with testing it. I'm not going to install it, because I had to do a Win10 restore after a Dev build got corrupted somehow last week and wouldn't uninstall. There's only so much pain I'm willing to put up with for the sake of idle curiosity.
Your comments suggest that Microsoft is planning a deployment that substitutes Edge Chromium as the Windows 10 browser if installed, replacing/removing Edge (Classic) and embedding Edge Chromium into Windows. Did you have a chance to see what happened to IE when "Stable" is installed? Does it go away?

- Good but doesn't say why stable release of Edge insider is kind of hidden and why it is not uninstallable when it's downloaded and installed just like any other normal apps.
- Looks like we're getting pretty close to the stable release of edge chromium.
- It seems...possibly. I would just stick with the Canary, Dev and/or Beta versions for now into stable is officially released as stable. That's just me though hehe.

Favorites syncing, for example, has been enabled sync browser's launch, but still it can't keep a solid connection between different computers and it duplicates the items in the favorites list and sometimes doesn't retain the favorites orders when user changes them, and it's all only related to the sync options...
