- firloop 10y agoYou could make the point that this is standard industry behavior, and Microsoft deciding to market their browser this way isn't anything new or noteworthy.
- PAN4SPK2WYWQF7Q 10y agoWell, perhaps people would not consider this as annoying if Microsoft advertised Edge for people who visit e.g. microsoft.com with another browser. Having a monopolistic position on the desktop market and using that is a different ball game.
- firloop 10y agoI don't know, doing stuff like sending someone an email to switch browsers seems just as intrusive.
- NamTaf 10y agoThe hypocrisy comes from the broader 'internet enthusiast' groupthink that says anything Edge or IE must be worse and that MS is horrible for doing this, but in the same breath they give far less criticism to Google for doing this with Chrome. Whether you agree with that view or not, it's understandable that the OP feels there's an element of hypocrisy not from Google but from the internet community as to how they view these companies' efforts to spruik their products.
