I guess Microsoft didn't learn anything from Internet Explorer. When the thought leaders dump your product, no one else will want it either.

- BitwiseFool 4y agoIt's a lot easier to switch browsers than it is to switch operating systems.
- donmcronald 4y agoI'd say Edge is a better comparison for that. I used Edge (logged in) + Bing for 3+ years and recently switched back to Firefox. When it was new, Edge was great. It was a Google free Chromium browser that integrated with my MS account and got out of my way. Now Edge is a bloated piece of trash because Microsoft can't stop jamming crap into it.
- moogly 4y agoFirefox also bugs you about signing in to Firefox Sync or Pocket or trying to upsell you their VPN.
- ok_dad 4y agoI don't ever see any nagging by Firefox, except for the first time I installed it and a few tabs popped up to tell me about certain features or when a big new feature is released and they pop a tab up for that feature. I think those are pretty reasonable.
- moogly 4y agoThey do it on updates too. Not every time, but every few ones.
- vidanay 4y agoI jumped from Chrome to Edge ~3 years ago, and ever since it has been a steady downward trend with each release. I switched back to FF a couple weeks ago when the giant Bing Button appeared and can't be easily removed.
