Hello
This is Sergey Tkachenko of Winaero.
The file on my website is a genuine file which was available in this thread at the moment of the writing of the above article.
Me, or anybody else, didn't modify a single byte of it.
However, following the Reddit thread here, it has come to my knowledge that the most recent app version has a variable renamed in the source code.
That hadn't been done by me. The site still offers the file I got from this thread by that time.
If it is a problem, I can update the archives.
However, I am pretty surprised that the Reddit topic starter is accusing me for integrating remote management code into the app. That is total BS, and he didn't provide any proof.
Some other guy on Reddit has decompiled both binaries, and found only two differences.
One is a removed "using" directive.
Another one is a renamed variable (structure -> LUID_AND_bla bla bla) in the TokenPrivilege routine.
The version I have on winaero can be downloaded by the link https://winaero.com/how-to-uninstall-and-remove-edge-browser-in-windows-10/
It can be audited by anyone.
I am not a Reddit user, but hell, I think I should join it and report the whole thread as a try to ruin my reputation.
