I laughed at Microsoft a lot when they basically made Windows 10 beg people to try edge.
You tried to change your default and it was like, this isn't recommended! And you're like, idgaf change the default, and Windows is like, are you sure? Yes! But edge can save battery power. Are you really sure?
Fuck off edge. Change the default.
Are you sure?
I work IT support. I've seen the dialog about 1000 times.
It's crazy how many people prefer a browser that's not edge.
They seem to have removed it in Windows 11, and even might have disabled it in later versions of 10. Idk, everything I'm dealing with now in terms of new setups are Windows 11.
For those contemplating a shift to Linux, this site lets you kick the tires on different distros.
In EU you can uninstall Edge completely.
Microsoft needs to hire a psychologist or something. Their senseless nagging on forcing shit down our throats doesn't psychologically work the way they think it does.
Except it does work. Its easy to forget that most users dont really know or care that much about their browser or care what their laptop is doing.
They just click things until something with search bar comes up.
The tech savy people are not their biggest customer group so they can risk annoying some people as long as they know they are getting more people in to their enviroment than they are loosing their users.
My Linux firefotz browser never gives this error.
I hate that Windows is like this
It would be better if people didn't need to worry about switching.
"oopsie reawwy sowwy uwu"
So, as with many other people. this stuff is certainly pushing me into Linux.
That said, is there no chance of the EU restarting their probes towards them with all the dark patterns they've been using to push people into Edge?
My day job is to fight ONE aspect of shady MS stuff. I don't have time or money at home to fight ALL of MS's shady shit at home.
I mean, if the alternative is vanilla Chrome, it hardly matters at this point. They're both so loaded with tracking your computer will dent the floor, and they have basically the same capabilities.
Obviously FF is better, but what I'm saying is, statistically, for the vast majority, this is only pulling folks off of Chrome.
The "app" is called Windows. :)
miss those vague error messages, not.
If you use Solid works at work you'll be welcome with More retarded ones like:
Error occurred.
An item in your assembly needs to be saved X 1000 consecutive windows saying the same thing even if you hit cancel or don't show again.
Solid works is phaking regarde...retarded.
Reminds of that kid that trips over and eats a class colleague's entire banana
"Banana"
Would it work to just delete edge.exe and rename firefox.exe to it?
Nope. Not that simple. Windows will complain left and right and "repair" it self. Their are ways to fully remove edge how ever.
Oof. So that's why Windows 10+ has almost 400 background services and is so slow.
Can I run Windows 7 in a VM if I am forced to use 10 or 11 somehow?
You can
Don't use 7, you're just asking for malware
It's actually fine if it doesn't have internet connection.
That's true of any OS.

Satya, stop trying to make Edge happen. It's not going to happen.
@herseycokguzelolacak Just like how clicking any web links (be it from the shitty widgets menu or from windows search) that open the browser, open as edge:// links which force opening on Microsoft Edge even if it's not your default browser. This sucks but at least I can uninstall Edge easily from the settings (maybe because I am in the EU)
Seriously considering switching to Linux lately!
