Then - when you uninstall their short-lived app - Windows doesn’t automatically fall back to the app that handled that format before they foisted theirs upon you.
Even better, Microsoft has introduced a user choice ‘protection’ driver that prevents non Microsoft applications from changing default file association, forcing you to use the settings.
Last I installed Adobe Acrobat, it launched this submenu and drew an overlay arrow on where to click. It was bizarre.
Yes, it’s crazy. I’m a MSP and have to jump through so many hoops to make sure it is default and not edge.
“I run Windows and it acts like Windows!”
Basically malware imo
none of microsoft’s junk can be permanently uninstalled, so it should all count as malware
I almost feel bad for the Microsoft engineers working hard on these projects that people vehemently reject no matter how much Microsoft pushes. (The pushing might have something to do with the rejection…) The way Edge, which isn’t actually a bad browser, begs you to give it a chance before installing Chrome is sad.
one thing i find funny is that when you search “google” in bing, it shows a different search bar that looks a bit more like google’s, but just searches through bing. if you then search “google” through that, it scrolls down a bit (to hide the actual bing search bar), and creates a whole page that looks like google’s main search page with a search bar that still just searches through bing
and that just shows how much they want people to use their search engine instead of just showing the link to google
edit: i accidentally made a link google’s website
