Microsoft clearly isn’t bothered that it’s automatically starting up Edge on people’s PC and then trying to trick them into importing their Chrome data. That’s not too surprising though since Microsoft has been pulling tricks like this for more than four years now.
Microsoft’s behavior here makes many people distrust Edge, Windows 11, and even the company’s AI efforts.
lol. Imagine still using chrome.
Only if I need to get old emails off that Gmail shit.
Windows in general is just fucking hostile to use. Everything they do now just seems like they are spitting in your face and laughing at you.
Fr, i remember windows taking longer to setup,Some Linux Distros only rlly had issues with secureboot(I turn on secure boot so windows doesn’t freak out) and everything was ready.
Linux Mint isn’t perfect, but at least it’s not constantly trying to steal my shit or force something on me that I don’t want.
Games is still what keeps me on the absolute shit show that is Windows. Proton has come a long way in solving this problem but there are still enough issues especially with new games that I have to have a Windows partition.
I ripped the bandaid off last month, there’s definitely fiddling and hdr is still in early days (works in gamescope, but found that can have issues with my nvidia card), I’ve been playing veilguard on proton ge for the last week, and proton experimental supports dlss frame gen now which is huge for me.
It’s definitely in the good enough state imo, and it seems to rapidly be getting better.
Haha, I was going to post this very meme.
I finally moved completely over from Chrome to Firefox this weekend. Fuck Edge, and fuck Chrome.
Microshit and goo gle? Let them fight! Two of the most harmful companies…
Who do you think gets hurt if these guys fight?
Them, and its beneficial to the IT world
MS isn’t bothered because the vast majority of people don’t give a shit. “Many” is doing a lot of lifting in that paragraph. Its probably more accurate to say “…a few people distrust Edge…”
Funny because Microsoft also recently dropped support for Firefox for Xbox GamePass Cloud Gaming on Android. I say “dropped support” but really they stopped letting you use the purpose built app and are now forcing you to use browser but the only “supported” browsers are Chrome and Edge. Firefox works, but they forcefully disconnected me after 5 minutes so it’s not a matter of compatibility. They just want that traffic going through Edge ideally but they do still support Chrome, for now.
Try a user agent switcher, might be enough to make them fuck off and let you play.
but is it really worse?
Big yawn
Microsoft is so… Old people stuff
Moved to MacOS years ago, where the default browser is actually good!
Mac ain’t that bad, I just wish apple didn’t make repairs hard and stuff.
Edit:Ios and Ipados and Tvos kinda sucks bcs they are very locked down,For some reason mac (Which is unix-like like linux) is not locked down, its only locked down to the hardware thats works with it.I agree with you there, but after being Android and Windows for years, being in the Apple ecosystem feels like a breath of fresh air
