Ah I never tire of defenders of corporate shitfuckery.
Whose computer is it? Mine or Microsoft’s? Did they pay me or did I pay them? Should I also not be concerned about the regular pop-ups begging me to use it?
Did you ever stop and wonder why it is that MS so desperately wants you to use their browser?
I’m not defending it. My point is that you aren’t going to outsmart Microsoft on their own operating system. You own a license, not the software. You can feel free to modify it to the extent they permit you, and if you want to hack your Windows OS then go ahead. You’ll either unintentionally break something or end up fighting against Microsoft when they undo your modifications on a future update.
If you want freedom and autonomy on your own computer then get yourself some Linux. Microsoft isn’t interested in power users, and they are going to keep taking more and more control from you in every release. You are swimming against the tide telling me to fuck right off when I’m telling you there’s nothing upstream.
A bit crass, but the truth is quite harsh too. While I do agree with your point overall; I don’t think people are wrong to protest. We need consumers to bitch and whine about things rather than take corporate laying down.
Oops I made a widdle fucky wucky and set myself back to default browser.
Oopsies the castrated search bar that plies you with ads until you type the exact filename or program you were looking for accidentally put the website you download it from above the program installed on your machine, don’t worry I’ll open that in edge for you.
Its because they’re fucken addicted to dark patterns. I want to set firefox as the default. That means any file that edge opens I want Firefox to now open. Except, Microsoft doesn’t do that when you set a different browser as the default. I’d rather it change everything and then I have to change the PDF viewer manually, than have to change six or seven file types manually each time. Thus wouldn’t be an issue if I wasn’t working at my first corporate job, if my manager gave a shit to do anything, and if my company would stop changing everything and breaking my images every other week.
So Chromebooks and Windows are switching, that’s funny. Windows is gradually becoming more and more browser based, while Chromebooks are gradually moving away.

Fuck right the fuck off, please.

You did a terrible job of making that point.
I bet people would be less enraged if the browser didn’t randomly open so often.

It replaces Chrome
How would removing a browser break an OS? Is Window’s really that fragile that it completely collapses from removing a single user-space application?
Yes. Windows is as much a browser based OS these days as Chromebooks are.
So Chromebooks and Windows are switching, that’s funny. Windows is gradually becoming more and more browser based, while Chromebooks are gradually moving away.
