      That’s the problem

      • 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.

      And nobody is doing something about it!

        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.
