Got to get people to use Edge somehow. Also try banning installers from adding pinned icons so users don't use Chrome, banning installers from setting defaults so users don't use Chrome, When you do open Chrome adding adverts for Edge to the screen (it's totally faster guys, come on). Banning browsers from the Windows Store, and thus Windows 10S.
- tedunangst 9y agoI'd be more sympathetic to poor google's plight if they didn't plaster banners telling me to switch to chrome all over the place.
- chadgeidel 9y ago"...banning installers from setting defaults..." goes way, way further than "... so users don't use Chrome". Installers silently replacing my default app is user-hostile and I encourage any steps my OS vendor takes to reduce the ability to do that. I had zero problems manually switching my default browser in Windows 10 to Chrome.
- mavhc 9y agoIt's more the way they did it, and continue to try to reset Edge to be default. I'm talking about my users who can't work the shift key, they just click whatever is pinned to the task bar. Same with how Mail is now pinned by default, even though everyone uses web mail. Any individual one of these wouldn't be too much of a concern, but together it seems suspicious.
