It was so easy that I could have thought of it myself. Thanks.

The "killed by microsoft" site looks like a rip off of the well known "killed by google" site. Id day that they really try to push fake controversy and extend the list e.g. Microsoft Edge just switched its technology and still exists.

  It's not just a rip-off, it's build directly on top of the killedbygoogle repository! https://github.com/fabianoriccardi/killed-by-microsoft https://github.com/fabianoriccardi/killed-by-microsoft is not a fork, but it has many of the commits from https://github.com/codyogden/killedbygoogle https://github.com/codyogden/killedbygoogle The earliest commits from fabianoriccardi include git messages like: > replacing "Google" with "Microsoft", removed PressCoverage Anyway, great code recycling at least right? It's a fun thought that the author of killedbygoogle ultimately wrote most of the code on killed-by-microsoft.

    Hi! Creator of Killed by Google. The code that runs Killed by Google has always been licensed under MIT, and it's changed significantly since the Microsoft version was cloned. There are multiple 'clones' that have popped up over the years using my repo as the base, and Fabiano is one of the few who kept my license in tact. The Microsoft version has been around for over a year, I think. I agree that it is cool to see how it's been reused. :)

  > Microsoft Edge just switched its technology and still exists. "Just" is a severe understatement, especially because they switched to the monoculture.
