Look at that shit! Before it was here are your two browsers choose! Now it’s…how about for the letter A? Suppose a website starts with an A, would you choose Edge to be your default browser?.. then you choose chrome or Firefox, and when you click on a link Edge Pops up with some shit like…Are you really sure you wanna use Firefox to view websites that start with the letter A?

Fuck Microsoft! Give us a fucking break you assholes! You are this turd of a company that is just stuck to company’s assholes and that’s the only reason any fly will ever touch your software.

    I can’t believe Micro$oft is still trying to pull this shit after it was fined for this in the European Union.

    Hopefully, they’ll fine them again, because this is unacceptable.

    No, I don’t use Windows, but people who use it and are less tech savvy should not be jumping through so many hoops to make the switch

      Apple is almost as bad with Safari on MacOs and you can’t even really change the browser on IOS. But everyone shits on Microsoft.

        I think the reason for the dichotomy is their purported motivation for doing so.

        I say “purported” because I know Lemmy has a bone to pick with Apple’s privacy claims, and I would prefer to gracefully avoid it, but I will say that, regardless of the extent to which Apple collects user data, it is easy to ensure that they aren’t hyper-aggressively monetizing it.
