Off the top of my head:
* when switching default browsers, Windows suggests you give Edge a try instead
* at some point I got a Windows notification suggesting that I try Edge instead of the browser I was using
IIRC they used to nag users more in the past but I think the notification I got also included an option to not be reminded again.
- gamblor956 7y agoLiterally every Google website tries to get me to download Chrome whenever I use firefox or ie. Every. Single. Time. 2 attempts from Microsoft... not so bad.
- pluma 7y agoI agree that two attempts isn't so bad. I think most users are upset because the notifications happened a lot more frequently in the past and using notifications from the OS for ads comes across as pretty slimy (because you only expect the OS to tell you when something important happens).
- WorldMaker 7y agoiOS, at least, sends just as many "Tips" notifications that also border on being ads for Apple and trusted third party applications, and I've never seen anyone near as harshly complain about "ads in iOS".
