Am I the only one who actually clicked through the link and is confused? It looks like a rant thread, with no specific information or links to blog posts, against Windows 10. I was expecting to get a link to a blog post, tweet, etc that showed specifically what MS is doing, with I don't know, some proof or facts? It doesn't seem like any of the HN commenters have clicked through; I know shocking... All it is is some text that says: Are we going to get treated to spam popups advertising Edge and having it duplicate our data from Firefox without asking every time Microsoft decides to update it from now on? Love rebooting my computer to get treated to a forced tour of a browser I'm not going to use that I have to force close through the task manager to escape, and then finding out it's been copying over my data from Firefox without permission.

Same here. Surprised so many people have commented on this without questioning the veracity of the claim. Specifically, the claim that it is importing your firefox data without you giving it permission. It's not that I have trouble believing this. It's definitely something they might do. But when did some random redditor become a reliable source? Christ, people.

  For what it's worth, I just updated my Windows 10 install and all that changed was a new Edge icon appearing on the desktop, that's it. When I clicked it I had the option to load settings from Firefox which I declined. It didn't set itself as the default browser (maybe there was a prompt about it but I don't remember), but it did get pinned to the taskbar, which I now removed.
