I have to disagree here. Messing with people's pinned taskbar icons is much more intrusive than a suggestion (which anyone sane has already disabled)
> why are they so heavy handed on the windows side of things
I'm sorry but that's pretty funny right before suggesting to literally change users settings without their consent.
- brianzelip 7y agoPerhaps the grandparent was referring to doing all that, by default out of the box? Sounds like a nice compromise all around.

- tracker1 7y agoI'm not suggesting changing the default browser... only that given some of their past actions, simply putting the icon, or updating the version of Edge on the taskbar, and having a notification above that icon would be a better approach. Compared to the suggestion that disparages Firefox or Chrome, or the full browser window opening after the update. -- edit It's easier to unpin a taskbar icon, than disable suggestions.
- usrusr 7y agoThat would be true if the ad/"suggestion" was just positively touting Edge without negatively mentioning Firefox. Is it even legal to use a competitor's trademark like that?
