I had it on there until about a week ago. It no longer does anything.

All good 👍 😃 Thanks for the suggestion!

or better to create an option choose to daemonize the process to make it running on each startup/background? or create an option to create restricted folders to placehold the three stupid Edges' to make it failed to auto install?

I've thought of the folder permissions in the past. (Even used it to prevent crashlogs for various programs)

Few issues with this

 - Not sure how major system updates / OS upgrades would be affected. 
    Would it just ignore the Edge failure and just move on, hold up the install, or cause other issues.
 - I would need to explain to users how to reset these folder permissions, if they needed them to work again
     Not everyone reads the README *Less open Issues the better

*As far a I know, Edge does not reinstall on its own. I've only seen it come back, if the OS is upgraded or a user re-installs it.
