Amazing. The first thing I use Edge for is to download Firefox. It pleads and begs me not to which makes me want to kill it harder. I hope the EU beats them with a stick until users can make an informed choice of not being upsold crapware by default.<p>Edge has become like a sexually transmitted disease that just won't clear up however much cream you stick on it.
The irony of them going after M$ when Google funded them while totally using all their monopoly power to get everyone to move over to Chrome with ads on Google itself that Google pays for to be the default in Firefox. And they succeeded. Firefox has lost so hard because of Google, and they are going after M$. I mean, I do think they are right, it's just the irony. Google never needed deceptive tactics. They just spammed their ads on Google that said "get the new fast Browser" they did not even say "faster" they just spammed everyone for years and all the idiots went for it.
Perhaps Microsoft should just pay them like Google does.<p>Google's payment is supposed to be for search, but some of it has got to be to weaken their position against Chrome. CMV.
