I don't use Bing or Edge simply because of how shameless Microsoft has become in trying to shove ads in my face. It's disgusting and deplorable. I don't care if their products are any better, I avoid Microsoft products and services as much as possible. Things like turning half the start menu into a space for ads. Things like integrating shopping extensions into Edge. Things like using Windows Update to add a worthless "Meet Now" button to the tray. Utterly fed up with it and I'm put off by everything Microsoft these days.

- muro 4y agoDoes your Android phone do any of that? Mine doesn't.
- scarface74 4y agoYou own a phone whose operating system is given away for free to OEMs made by an adTech company. Why do you think Google distributes Android?
- RealStickman_ 4y agoMaybe he runs Lineage or Graphene without any Google apps
- hulitu 4y agoI paid money for my Android phone. It was not free.
- lern_too_spel 4y agoYou must be confused with iOS. It makes you use the App Store and Apple News, both of which have shove ads down your throat. On Android, you can use whatever news app or app store you like.
- scarface74 4y agoSo you mean there is no other News app for iOS? And unless you are running a deGoogled phone, you are still being tracked for ads.
- v3ss0n 4y agoCan you replace your IOS with purely opensource os?
- scarface74 4y agoHow does “open source” magically make my phone better?
- RealStickman_ 4y agoYou can build a community around it that cares about what you care about.
- lern_too_spel 4y agoCan you uninstall Apple News from your iPhone? You can't — worse, you can't on MacOS either. Every Apple News link you open will be sent to Apple with the Apple ID you logged into your phone with. This isn't the case in Android. > And unless you are running a deGoogled phone, you are still being tracked for ads. No more so than on iOS. I can simply not log into a Google account or use any Google apps on even an Android phone produced by Google. Better, my app usage won't be tracked by Apple or anybody else for ads. But we're going off on a tangent — the original point was having ads shoved in our faces.
