Microsoft Edge is apparently usurping Chrome on people’s PCs
(arstechnica.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Isn't Microsoft Edge spyware though.
Would be difficult for it to be as much as chrome
It is worse, and Teams is even worse than Edge.
Just had to open a link in Teams and it ignored that Chrome was my default to launch Edge, then tried to set itself as the default for anything clicked in Teams.
I can easily see Microsoft doing something comparably shitty for people opening links in Word or PowerPoint. If not for Apple's even more egregious ecosystem practices (among other things) I'd be very tempted to switch.
I am legally obligated to respond to your post to recommend Linux.
I already have tech tips, thanks tho
I had to deal with the same thing in outlook. A user was complaining that their password manager wasn’t working when opening links from outlook and didn’t even notice it was opening in edge instead of chrome.
Everything is spyware
Just tear off the cable cord of your PC FFS.
