they are making harder to change the default browser on windows, and broke workaround by chrome and firefox too.
they don’t let you uninstall edge in easy way or without a third party software.
if you download another browser from edge they try to persuade you in to giving edge a try.
they are planning to set edge as the default browser on teams.
they don’t give you an easy way to open with another browser the internet result from the windows search bar, they broke EdgeDeflector many times indeed.
You know that’s a fuck up situation when you need to hope that a government union will give a fuck about a tech giant throwing shit at their paying customers
Well, there’s at least some hope, looking at the whole USB-C situation, the DSA and the DMA.
So much happens everyday that is more than just technically illegal, law enforcement doesn’t even know where to start.
One big thing for the GDPR right now is how many EU-US data transfers are violating the law, because they happen without user consent. If we’re being as strict as we should be, EU websites aren’t allowed to use Google Analytics, for example
Haven’t installed fresh windows in a few years but I distinctly remember the past few times I installed Windows 10 I had the weirdest issues trying to download Firefox or chrome, like the webpage or download button was broke. I had to get my browser through ninite
High time for another antitrust, huh
That’s the problem
And nobody is doing something about it!
The US government really doesn’t give a shit, does it. Maybe the EU?

It’s sad, because Edge is actually a pretty good browser, but all this shit just makes everyone hate it.
Also, every Google page I visit gives me an annoying “Download Chrome now!” popup, so MS i guess is just using the same strategy Google used.
