    Why the fuck would I want a browser with AI?

      This could be asked of a thousand million other products in the past three years.

      But hey, here I am replying to this comment from my AI powered pants zipper, so…

      I don’t know what fucking idiot they think is going to say to themselves “well fuck if Microsoft recommends it that’s the way we go!”

          Not sure what you’re alluding to. I’ve been paying attention for the last 30 (how long I’ve been using computers). During my childhood I used Windows at home and macOS at school; eventually I moved on to Linux at home then a mix of Linux and macOS at home.

          I haven’t used Windows since Windows XP so it’s really just a guess what you might be getting at. Am I to assume that OS vendors making poor suggestions in their UIs is normal?

    Oh boy, a ChatGPT powered browser! Maybe it can hallucinate what I bookmarked and lose or leak all my passwords ☺️

    GPT-4 powered browser? Like they needed to make Edge an even less attractive offering or what?

    I work in IT at a company who uses outlook, but has locked down the phones so the users can’t install anything.

    I can say without a reason of the doubt that outlook on Android is hateful.

    It’s still a 2010 era android app with non of the desktop features working. Like the signature not syncing with your saved ones. And focused inbox hiding important emails.

    But since the phones are locked down. These dark patten ads are twice as annoying since the user thinks there phone is broken. They just removed the Microsoft 2fa prompts on setup. But I saw this and almost cried.

    Don’t assume that users are smart enough to read or understand how this works. They press buttons until it works. If we didn’t force google play to not allow edge to download our users would’ve been in a much harder situation to support.

    surely you get this only if you have edge already installed?

    if you just stop edging on your device, wouldn’t this pop-up never appear?

      Confirming, you get this even if you don’t have Edge installed. It will take you to the store page.

      Lots of apps override the default behaviour when opening links and ask you to use a specific browser. I actually do use Edge and have been asked if I wanted to use Chrome.

        I’ve been using it for 12+ years, and still do to this day. The only thing that changed is that you have to use the Microsoft authenticator app to log on.

    It’s not even bad they’re just annoying. Currently the only one I’d use is firefox. It has all the features without the bad things so far. Opera has many ads and also ai and a crypto wallet so i’m going with firefox…
