It cost an incredibly valuable reource: his attention.

  No, he donated that. He could have chosen to simply ignore the icon, as thousands of others do daily.

    Would you ignore random garlic in your OS?
    • fphhotchips 4y ago
      Yes. I didn't ignore today's because this conversation had it front-of-mind and I'm curious, but it seems like for a long time it was some kind of beach scene and I have no idea what that was about. Once you know "this is just a little curiosity button", it's easy enough to ignore if you're not into that. (Today's is in reference to van Gogh's 170th birthday, which is a nice little "oh!" moment, but not one I clicked through to see more)

        This is Microsoft trying to drive usage for Edge by adding a Google widget into Windows. None of those clickable features in the Taskbar open your default browser, they all open Edge.

    It wasn't donated, it was stolen. Even one stupid garlic ad is one too many.
