Ask HN: Why does Edge Chromium use pkg installer instead of dmg?
What does it install beside the app in `/Applications`?
- xzcvczx 6y agoif its anything like google chrome it installs an updater application that is a royal pain to try and remove
- xzcvczx 6y agoextracting the pkg MicrosoftEdgeBeta-84.0.522.11.pkg Office16_all_autoupdate.pkg where MicrosoftEdgeBeta-84.0.522.11.pkg extracts to just .app, although there are a couple of embedded .apps, used according to the names for rendering and GPU Office16_all_autoupdate.pkg seems to be the updater, however it seems that the updater is optional and can be chosen to not install in the installer but appears to default to install.
