ABOUT FUCKING TIME. Take edge and shove it so far up your data tracking sphincter of a face hole.

Can we please get these laws on a global level.

Nope. But hey look, the Democrats are coming to take your guns!

I’m not disagreeing, but what entity would enforce those global laws?

La Haye International Court of Justice, of course.

And what happens when the country in question is one that doesn’t care that much about the ICC, and responds “make me”?

To wit: The United States has famously refused to subordinate itself to the ICC

Same way laws are enforced now? Each country passing it and the companies needing to comply to continue operations.

Why are they force to comply right now if the laws don’t work?

You’re missing the point.

The ICC only has power in countries that let them have power. If a given country doesn’t feel like doing that, the ICC has precisely zero recourse or ability to enforce.

What should citizens in countries like that (which may or may not be dictatorships, single-party states, theocracies, or some other restrictive, un-democratic, and/or xenophobic form of government) do?

Who needs a volcano when woodchippers can park right in your driveway.

Remember to load them feet first kids!

Well they’ll probably reinstall it with every update anyway.

That is easy enough to block or deal with.

At least there’s the option to remove it at all that the non tech people can now easily access.

I can’t wait to see what this breaks and how the fix is to reinstall edge for all kinds of mundane issues.

They would get massive fines if they tried that.

Not really possible anymore, Microsoft has been forcing updates since Windows 10.

I appreciate your sense of relief, but don’t share it. This isn’t the first time Microsoft has been ordered to stop pushing its stuff (remember Internet Explorer?) and I’m sure it won’t be the last.

If I have to keep a chromium browser around, in addition to Firefox, I’d rather edge than mainline Chrome.

I’m not sure I would. Edge is trash, it keeps shoving the AI bullshit, all the MSN news stuff, ads for cheaper shopping, all in your face when you first start up. While you can turn it off, it gets annoying doing that every time you reinstall or spin up a new VM. Chrome, for all its faults, is a lot less annoying freshly installed.

Brave seems like a superb option.

Opera seems like a reasonable option, I guess, but I’m not sure if it has the market share to actually be seen and controversial if there was something to be controversial about.
