I've never seen the notification integration for Edge/Chrome used for anything legitimate, only ever scams. Its not unusual for me to sit down on someones computer and get bombarded with tech support/antivirus scams.
And Chrome and Edge makes turning it off non-trivial. Its an AWFUL feature that seems to have been destined for misuse from day one.
- bigbacaloa 4y agoThe feature itself is a misuse, so this is not surprising.
- manimino 4y agoWhen the Windows 11 beta showed up with the ads and distractions built in, I finally switched my last computer to a KDE Linux. Love the Windows UI, but their commitment to putting ads in the OS means the OS is no longer the product. Their users are the product. We all know how this ends.
- a2tech 4y agoThis feature however is a Google feature. They built it into Chrome and then from there it was made available in Microsoft Edge which runs on Chromium. So while MS made the GUI choices that made it difficult they were really just following the lead that Google set down in Chrome.
