Microsoft wants Edge to automatically open by default every time you turn on your Windows 11 PC

When will they ever learn?

Even non-techies know how and want to install a different browser, how many decades more will they try this pressure fueling of their shitty browser?

In fear of playing devils advocate a little bit:

Edge is not a shitty browser. Ad-infested, controlling, overwhelming, disrespectful, annoying yes. But not shitty.

It’s chromium-based so it’s quite fast and secure (unlike Internet Explorer that everyone loved back in the day). I wouldn’t use Edge, but it’s a decent default if you’re okay accepting Windows antics.

It’s an opinion, don’t kill me. 😶‍🌫️

Edge quickly became my main browser. Its Tab Groups are borderline genius.
Vivaldi also has tab groups.
