I don’t see anyone falling for this either, if they were going to they would already have edge installed.
Edge’s first launch setup is a straight-up fucking barrage of pop-ups and tabs auto opening. It’s ridiculous. I groan every time I have to go through it at work. It’s almost a shame because when edge-chrome first launched it actually wasn’t bad. Of course Microsoft couldn’t have that and had to fuck it up as soon as they could.
Is this the choice pop-up they are now legally required to buy new EU laws? There’s also a “remember” toggle. Isn’t this a positive thing to exist?
No, one of the two options there is “default browser” meaning the user likely already has a non-edge default browser set up. This is clearly Microsoft trying to trick users into using Edge even when they’ve chosen not to.
Absolutely. But MS chose to go the evil route again and ask right when you want to open a link. In that situation users want to open a link and not choose browsers so they are more likely to click on edge. It is deliberately annoying which is what op is angry about
Also the EU doesn’t require it to be a pop-up, you just have to use the users set default afaik.
Yes, let’s require setting a default value as to whether we use the default value. Maybe when Edge still isn’t as popular as they like, they can use a prompt to set the default value whether to use the default value whether to sue the default value
This is why I’m figuring out dual booting with Linux today… use windows in case I have too…
Be careful about your grub
Btw is there a “how to reinstall grub” guide? I have no idea how to do that.
Its a standalone part of the system so it could just be written to the correct partition.
What is this from? It looks like a large version of the app selector on Android.

DMA says no
ignore. why you even open edge? just bloatware for grandma to use. studies show a percent will pick edge
