4. Delete Data On Exit

5. Set Edge As Your Default Browser
Microsoft Edge should be the default browser on Windows by default. However, if you switched default browsers, you can switch it back in the settings. This forces all links opened outside your main browser to open on Microsoft Edge.
Use Edge PWAs (Optional)
You can use Microsoft Edge PWAs (Progressive Web Apps) for services like your email or other communication platforms for more security and exclude their site data from deletion on exit to stay logged in. This forces links opened on your email or other messaging platforms to open directly within Microsoft Edge. You can pin PWAs onto your taskbar for your convenience.
