Comment on Edge 118: updated on-page search may send data to Microsoft

  You’ve meant to say that they just make it a legit pain in the ass to use anything else.

  There is no reason for that otherwise.

    Both.

    It is a pain in the ass to use the Microsoft online services with eg Firefox. Sometimes it is even impossible to log in for me.

    But also the new Enterprise profile in Edge is very good if your company uses all of these services

      The biggest problem I have with having to use Edge at my work is how it pushes bing (obviously) as the default search engine.

      I swear it only becomes worse with time. Every query is now answered with that awful AI that is never, never on point. Seriously, it just pulls a bunch of random questions only vaguely related to your request and decides to list answers to those instead.

      Of course this shit takes a whole screen before the actual search results show up. And at the bottom, just where all decent search engines put a “next page” button, instead they put a shortcut… to the AI crap again, back at the top of the page.

      Yup. Coming from the company that brought you IE6 and ActiveX.

      “But their cloud push is actually making their services available to more OS’s, they’re changing” some people said.

      Bah

        There’s a reason they release Edge on fucking Linux, not a single person asked for this.
