  No more anti-consumer than Google saying that “the internet is best experienced in chrome” every time you open YouTube or Google search.

      Well, they also mangle/limit the Google Search on Firefox for Android. If you change your useragent to Chrome, it will show just fine, so it’s not issue with Firefox, it’s deliberate.

    Don’t you think it’s different if Google says this on their own sites vs Microsoft showing this when visiting their competitors?

    Both isn‘t good. But I feel like one of those is clearly worse.

  at that point i consider it a microsoft tradition to do the "hey, i see you're using Y, we have a similar product called Z and it's better, do you want to try it?"-routine no one asked for.

    “No one asked for this” should be Microsoft’s tag line. Rather than fix problems that have been around for years - decades in some cases - they just keep adding crap that no one wants or asked for.

  Being offered a second option and not having a monopoly is as consumer friendly as it gets, may I suggest a dictionary?

    Except they are using the power they have with people using their browser to divert people away from the alternative to their product.
