Microsoft Edge is trying to forcefully get your Chrome tabs again
www.theverge.com
Microsoft has a new trick to try and get Chrome users over to Edge.

Microsoft clearly isn’t bothered that it’s automatically starting up Edge on people’s PC and then trying to trick them into importing their Chrome data. That’s not too surprising though since Microsoft has been pulling tricks like this for more than four years now.

Microsoft’s behavior here makes many people distrust Edge, Windows 11, and even the company’s AI efforts.

    For me, having it locked down is the selling point. I used to be big into jailbreaking but for 90% of users it’s better this way.

    For development work though obviously having it not so locked down is kind of necessary. Luckily I don’t write apps from iOS or tvOS so it’s a nonissue for me.

      Yeah it is it better for most users, but I started finding that annoying.
