Man, I booted up a Windows laptop I use for 3D printing software for the first time in 6 months. The fucking popup ads for Microsoft shit were out of control. Fuck that shit, I turned it off and started searching for something that works under Linux.

I’ve been using Firefox on Windows for a few years (and Chrome for many years before that) and I can’t remember the last time it nagged me, if it ever did. I’ve sometimes wanted to temporarily switch the default browser back to Edge and the setting to do it hard to find if you don’t know where to look.

Honestly, I’ve only ever seen the first one after a major update. I’ve never personally seen the 2nd one, but I also trim down the start menu and taskbar to be windows 7 like, so 🤷

Yep. Microsoft has been successfully sued for monopolistic behavior, but yeah, pot, kettle, etc.
Takes a monopoly to know a monopoly, I guess.
