I have another take on this. While I normally would agree with those sentiments, I usually don’t mind suggestions when I agree with them. I think Edge is objectively a better choice for most users than Chrome. Better privacy, built for Windows by the folks that build Windows, with all the advantages in power and efficiencies that come with being the only native browser. They’re just getting started but it’s always going to be first class on Windows. Given it also has the underpinnings of the browser with 70% market share, it really has it all. Microsoft in this case, is truly doing their users a service. All this said by a Firefox diehard.
- tjoff 6y agoSuggestions I don't mind, but this is not suggestions, it is ads. More like the telemarketer calling you at the most inappropriate times or pestering your grandparents to trick them into something they don't want nor need. There is no silver lining to this. It is despicable behavior that should not be rewarded.
- krageon 6y agoThis behaviour doesn't become ethical just because you agree with what they are pushing for. What they're doing is wrong, even if their end goal isn't a state which is in and of itself wrong.
- BuckRogers 6y agoI don't really view that sort of thing as ethical or unethical. Of all the evils in the world... I wouldn't even call that an evil at all, not even on the list. I genuinely agree and believe that Edge is in the best interests of Windows users, and while less so because it's non-native, also users on most platforms that they support. When they say, "the internet is better with Edge", it's actually true this time.
