This isn’t a fair comparison. Open Chrome then open Edge. In the former, you see a simple inferface with a search bar and maybe a few icons for frequently visited websites. In the latter, you’re meandering through a Turkish bazaar filled with thousands of knick-knack vendors, newsstands, etc. Microsoft puts no thought into the user experience and every thought into “we can use it to make money!”

Are you sure about that? Chrome has a feature called “Cards” which is enabled by default, but is currently not as in your face as the Bing News stuff. https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/11032183?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/11032183?hl=en&co=G... > Chrome curates content that may interest you based on your activity. You must be signed in to your Google Account for your Cards to appear on the New Tab page. When you click on an item in a card, it opens the content in the same tab. It looks like right now it’s limited to recipes and unfinished shopping carts, but the intent seems to be the same in the long run. FWIW it can easily be disabled, but so can the Bing News ads.

  I can’t find Cards … Is it US only? I recently started using Chrome again - like last month - never noticed any “Cards”. There is the weird Journey thing though. No idea what’s that about.

    Might be? I think it’s just so limited in scope right now that most people don’t see them or at least not as often. They seem to be triggered based on recent activity rather than Bing News which is always there. I think I’ve seen the “cart” one once or twice but the recipe one was downright obnoxious. The only reason I know the feature even exists is because I once searched for a street corn recipe and would constantly get the same cards reminding me about the recipe for weeks after. If I haven’t touched the card in weeks, you’d think they’d get the hint that I no longer want to make street corn.
