This is Microsoft’s latest annoying addition to Windows.

    But are you sure you don’t want to make Edge your default browser??

      Why do you think you need to download Chrome? Write a 500 word essay explaining how it’s better than Edge.

      (For real, though, it’s not. Use Firefox.)

        Or another fun thing I recently saw at work, Microsoft changing Office programs to always open links in Edge by default so you have to edit a setting to make it open the default browser again - which caused a significant productivity loss when people suddenly had various intranet pages opened in a browser they were not logged into, and they all had to contact support to get the original sane behavior back.

        Microsoft is being run by marketing teams with hubris these days, there’s absolutely no way they’re testing these things with real humans before release.

      Oh you want to change the default app for a file extension? Here change it for all the extensions one by one by hand!

      What do you mean you didn’t have to do this before? There’s no before!
