This will be unpopular but I don't care - I see nothing shady. They're promoting their product. In the era when we're lied to at every corner of internet, I see nothing wrong with Microsoft promoting their new and AWESOME browser.
Sadly, despite my love for Mozilla and Firefox, Edge is superior browser for me. It looks better, it works faster, it uses less memory and its developer console is much snappier, detailed and I am used to working with it. I'm sure there are people who would say the same about Firefox.
I would love for Firefox to be the best browser, both technically and subjectively. But it isn't (yet, and again - for ME).
Having hated Microsoft for a long time and having thought of Google as godsend, my opinion has changed in 2020. Microsoft did some amazing things for OSS community and for us web developers (Typescript, VSCode, Edge, Github.. I can stop here but there's more).
I actually recommend Edge to other people. The wording Microsoft chose might not be the best, but what are they supposed to do? Do nothing? What would the titles be then? "Trillion dollar company inept in promoting their latest and best product. Shareholders stumped."
By the way, the site that reports the issue (softpedia) loads ads and unwanted cookies. Using the same SJW logic, could I discredit their misleading title based on the source of their revenue?
