I miss when MS used to be punished for these kinds of blatantly monopolistic practices.

But Google is the market leader and has the same practices, why are you only asking for MS to be punished? Google is just as shady.

I think it’s a bit more invasive of a browser to inject shit depending on the sites I visit.

Edge > Chrome. I use it at work. Much better.

This feels like arguing whether mcdonalds or burger king is better when I’d really just prefer food.

I think of it as picking up two pieces of dog shit and trying to decide which smells better.

To be fair, that’s true to me too but MS’s way of marketing it is just annoying and predatory. With that said, Firefox is my jam and only use Edge for things related to my Microsoft school account.

But edge is much better than chrome, was the only browser I could keep open while emulating switch games. If you are going to use a chromium fork instead of Firefox, at least use edge.

I think I am okay with this popup, I mean they are asking whats wrong with their product. They arent trying to break something in Chrome or like that.

If Edge stops forcing everyone with their “new and improved AI powered…” stuff, it is better than Chrome.
