I don't use Edge BECAUSE they keep begging and throwing ads at me for it. It's off putting, desperate and exactly what I don't want.

I don't use it because the Edge splash screen is chokka ads and news stories I don't want.

I don't use Edge because I find Bing annoying, and prefer duck duck go and google in that order, and I'm sick of constantly being nagged to use shit I don't want.

Microsoft get it in your head, you are an operating system. Your job is to Operate MY system. Do that well. And by all means build more software, make it optional and installable by choice. If it's good and works for me and not for you I will use it.

I don't use Chrome either. It no longer works for me. It now works for Google first.

Ive recently downgraded Firefox from browser number 1 to number 2. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's not the best.

Currently I'm enjoying Opera because it feels fresh and zippy and works for me , but I'm not loyal. Edge if you do good, maybe I will use you too. But stop your pathetic shit.

Microsoft is a cloud provider these days, Windows doesn't make enough money, that's why they are desperate to monetise already paying customers.

Azure/entra or whatever the fuck they call it this week is where the real money comes from
