Comment on Microsoft has gone too far: including a Game Pass ad in the Settings app ushers in a whole new age of ridiculous over-advertising

  I legitimately, non-ironically, prefer Edge over Chrome, and I cannot explain why; possibly brain damage, possibly too lazy to download Chrome or Firefox and setup my account for either.

    Edge and Chrome are basically very similar at this point. Firefox is my browser of choice these days. It’s not perfect, but at least it isn’t anti-adblocking and doesn’t freak out when I block 8.8.8.8 like Chrome and the Google devices in my house. I’m moving away from Google as they move away from not being evil. Moving to self hosted stuff as much as I can for photos, email, file storage, and soon, home automation.

    For me it’s a pragmatic desire to share information with as few megacorporations as possible.

    I deal with MSFT for so many other things, not all by choice - and Edge does everything I need it to do.

    As with many such questions, it’s about the trade-off you are prepared to accept.

      Mozilla recently purchased and integrated a large internet ad company, so be ready for a storm coming.
