I found edge mysteriously on my phone yesterday I'm not sure if the culprit was the bing app or the Microsoft launcher (not my main launcher I was just curious).

One thing I do know is I didn't install edge myself I use mull.

Switching to Linux was a great decision. Windows has gone downhill since 2009

While both companies are predatory I would never use Edge because its so bad and bloated its not even funny.

[–] idotherock@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago

And I feel like that happened really quickly. It doesn’t feel like that long ago that Edge was a nice, nimble browser. Not this bloated naggy beast it is now.

The fucking bing bar pop-up!!

[–] lntl@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 years ago (2 children)

They should ditch the pop-ups and instead go ahead and make Edge/Bing the default without permission. There's nothing users can do but complain and accept it.

Not sure if you're being sarcastic, but that's how they got in trouble with Internet Explorer in the EU.

I mean on one hand, terrible behavior. On the other, good.

You don't need to add "-like", The Verge. This fits the definition of malware.

Good thing I don't use Windows.

My personal laptop updated itself from 10 to 11, and 11 is infuriating. Never mind the pop ups and ads, the whole thinf just sucks. This was just the extra bit of incentive that I needed to switch back to Linux Mint. Thanks, MS!

[–] SeaJ@lemm.ee 8 points 2 years ago

And instead I simply dropped Windows.
