Edge and Bing are good, just that google products exist. I ddon't see the issue with them trying to pitch you one last time. It's not blocking the install or anything.
I use chrome exclusively and cortana will pop up at least once a week saying did you know edge is faster than chrome ?Chrome has always been my default browser, and I've never had this happen or even heard of this happening to anyone.
Yes, I'm the one that doesn't know what he is talking about...
The only way I found of preventing W10 to constantly use 100% of the HDD was to straight up replace it with an SSD. Windows 10 just doesn't work properly with an HDD because of whatever shit it's doing in the background that you can't really turn offI managed to disable updates on my other w10 box by setting my connection to 'metered' and wdefender doesn't write 100% of the time on my desktop. The laptop is a whole other kettle of fish.

Ohhh weekly shit on Win10 thread. I'm here and I have beer!
Win10 is an amazing OS. The shit it got first year out was warranted tho. Shit was pretty much a beta.
Only thing Win10 needs to do now is unify their GUI elements. Slowly but surely...
Anecdotal (kinda) but I have 4 devices running it, two old as fuck PCs that shouldn't - for the love of god - be able to support the OS (and I run the Insider Program on them!) that never have an issue and two laptops that are...not really new, like 6 years old at least. No issues there either.Every big update is still a complete crapshoot on how many computers it's going to break at work and at home for me. I'm a fan of 10 but there are still problems with it
I'm aware of that notification (and mercifully I think it can turned off through some arcane setting since it never appears for me). But that's very different to the claim that Windows Defender is falsely indicating a PC is unprotected because Edge isn't the default browser, which is what the poster I quoted claimed.I use chrome exclusively and cortana will pop up at least once a week saying did you know edge is faster than chrome ?
Annoying af. And btw edge internet searches are garbage
Yes their update and telemetry fuckery is factually false just like endless privacy apps like W10Privacy or ShutUP10 designed to limit this fuckery don't exist.people keep saying this and its factually false.
...and then they login to their gmail using chrome. kermitnoneofmybusiness.jpg
Don't know, I use Firefox. OP also uses Firefox. Why is everyone bringing up Google Chrome? Did OP say I wish Microsoft was more like Google? I think most people already know Google is terrible with this kind of thing too. Does that excuse Microsoft from this kind of behavior?
Have you used firefox at all since the last massive update where they switched to a completely new engine? Killed almost all of the bloat and speed issues.
What does this have to do with the topic on hand, which is Windows (Microsoft) making anti-competitive moves against other web browsers? The equivalent would be to try and use gmail and google dropping a "This works better on Android and Chrome OS!"Ohhh weekly shit on Win10 thread. I'm here and I have beer!

Is there really much difference between 'This works better on Android and Chrome OS' compared to 'This works better in our Google Chrome browser'? Because that's exactly what Google currently does. At every opportunity they get.The equivalent would be to try and use gmail and google dropping a "This works better on Android and Chrome OS!"
Mah nigga.I don't mind Edge, but Vivaldi does everything I need so I don't want to stop using it or use it less just because my computer feels guilty
Microsoft being scummy as fuck again. Fuck edge. MS has never made a good browser and they should just give up.
Some of us are not ok with ads built into the os we paid money for. Especially considering Ms rich history using dark patterns.Completely OTT response. Windows is their product, of course they're going to try and sway people to use Edge. As long as they're not blocking any other browser it's fine.
Is this new? My Windows 10 doesn't do this
Nor does it do this
Mah wigga*
Lol not new. Five Months old at least. You gotta have Edge protection on or else you're at risk. And boy do they get personal if you try to change browsers. Suddenly you're an obstacle to progress.
Mickeysoft has been on one for a while now, and I used to laugh at the *nix dudes in their little redhats and jaunty dollar signs.
yep, its a gigantic mountain, that you made out of all this. pretty impressive.It's not a big deal. I built my computer, installed Windows 10, and immediately installed Chrome. I got an "are you sure?...Edge is better" type pop-up, ignored it and went about my day. Have literally not seen that message since.
I did the exact same thing when my Surface Pro arrived, and even though it's a Microsoft hardware product, designed to be used with Edge, I've yet to see this pop-up since day one.
Mountains outta molehills around here when it comes to Windows 10.

the "big deal" to you is that people are annoyed by it. so you have to stop and let everyone know how ok with it you are and how anything else is an overreaction.Yeah, I'm the one acting like this is a big deal. Sure thing...lol.
Not trying to be a dick, but you're white and you shouldn't use this word.
Ironically I used edge today (I only have chrome and edge on my pc and sometimes I prefer edge) and what's the first thing I see? "Have you tried google chrome the best™ browser ever?" in huge letters on top of the edge start page.Big deal, Google Chrome does the same thing if you're not using Chrome and a Google service. Right in a competitor's browser. Oh noes, whatever will I do.
For work I happily have a bunch of browsers all running fine next to each other on Win10.

people are annoyed and think Microsoft is getting shady. if that seems like a mountain to you, then yodelayhehoo.

And the kicker chrome *is* my default browser.

Yeah. Verge now say IT WAS JUST A TESTGood news, everyone: Microsoft has removed this prompt in the latest fast ring build due to user feedback.

This doesnt bother me. Every time I have to download an adobe product or go to speedtest.net I am bombarded by Chrome ad's. What's the difference?
I'm pretty sure Apple has more of a "monopoly" on Mac OS (And especially iOS) browsers than Microsoft has a monopoly on Windows browsers. Nobody I know uses Edge.The difference between the MS and the Apple case is that MS have a mear monopoly of the market. So it is pretty clear where the line is drawn.
Same is happening with Android and Chrome (and other preinstalled apps).
Yep, here's hoping they get fined again.
