minus-squareAutoTL;DR@lemmings.worldBlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·11 months agoThis is the best summary I could come up with: How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Google Chrome download in Microsoft’s Edge web browser? How many times will the company try to steer me away? The pop-ups are nearly two years old, and the injected ads are from earlier this year. I cannot believe how many stories we’ve written about the shit Microsoft has pulled to steer you away from Chrome. Even today, the company still won’t always respect your choice of default browser, though that may finally be changing in the EU. Sadly the poll doesn’t include an “I’m boycotting Edge because you don’t respect me as a user” option. The original article contains 133 words, the summary contains 108 words. Saved 19%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
