    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Google Chrome download in Microsoft’s Edge web browser?

    How many times will the company try to steer me away?

    The pop-ups are nearly two years old, and the injected ads are from earlier this year.

    I cannot believe how many stories we’ve written about the shit Microsoft has pulled to steer you away from Chrome.

    Even today, the company still won’t always respect your choice of default browser, though that may finally be changing in the EU.

    Sadly the poll doesn’t include an “I’m boycotting Edge because you don’t respect me as a user” option.

      I love Linux but people like you who won’t shut the fuck up about it make me hate it.

    Too bad they don’t have an option for “I just don’t want to use Edge”. Especially with how hard Microsoft is pushing it, that just makes me want to use it less.

      I don’t want to use edge, but I do have to admit between Chrome and Edge, Edge has become the less evil. It respects the search and ad tracking opt out settings on your account, and doesn’t disable or cripple ad blockers. The “strict” account wide setting on Edge is so strict that sites will pop up asking you disable ad blockers even if you don’t have one.

      This VS the current state of Chrome which undermines ad blocking, and forces you to opt out of ad tracking on every install of Chrome across all devices… Oh… But they’re going to enable ip masquing now… Because they don’t need your ip with all the identifiers they are injecting into your browser.

      I hate MS… But the don’t be evil company has done a 180 in a rapid fashion over the last couple of years and sadly… MS is now the lesser of two evils.
