“recommended by microsoft” kills me.
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!”
I think the average user sees recommended and just goes with it.
That’s fucking nuts.
Tbh a lot of users might just click without even reading what this message says.
Have you not been paying attention for the past 50 years?
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?
GPT-4 “powered” lol
I also recommend myself.
Oh boy, a ChatGPT powered browser! Maybe it can hallucinate what I bookmarked and lose or leak all my passwords ☺️
Autofilling all URLs to something completely different could be a fun way to browse
GPT-4 powered browser? Like they needed to make Edge an even less attractive offering or what?
It’s like how they’re adding the useless copilot key to every single laptop that ever is released
GPT-4 powered
thanks for the warning!
now let me find something that works instead

Can’t wait for GPT in my email client, so that it falls for phishing schemes when I’m relaxing.
I can tell you aren’t using outlook
Yeah the place I work implemented the “enterprise version” of outlook with their garbage AI built in.
I’ve never used the AI once, and if they don’t give a shit about company data that’s fine by me
I’d take that in a heartbeat. I want my meetings and emails summarised, minutes written for me.
That’s the kind of daily crap I don’t want to have to do myself.
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.
I really wish users would learn the slightest bit how to use their shit
God ChatGPT sucks so much.
they are desperate for someone to use their spyware filled Browser with AI shoved down your throat
I’m surprised it gives you the choice instead of the usual Microsoft nag: Set Default or Later.
This is a shitshow. I use open source mobile office suite and Outlook continually refuses to open PDF or other documents as nothing is installed, so would I like to use their bag of shit instead.
install linksheet nightly
Just had a look. Much appreciated, thanks mate.
Quick question, what suite are you using on mobile? Haven’t managed to find mutch open source stuff to edit word documents.
I use onlyoffice :)
I use CollabraOffice and also muPDF. Collabra is great for viewing and some minor work, but I try to use libreoffice on my laptop running Debian for real productivity.
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?
No, I don’t have edge and don’t want it.
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.
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…
Vivaldi is basically just old opera without all the bullshit.
