I use Edge on my laptop (because of Bing Chat, easy to use on Edge, without faffing around on OpenAI), and Microsoft still won't stop trying to push it on me every once in a while. (on windows 10, because of TPM1.2, small blessings) Like chill, you already got me. I am not going to remove Chrome and Firefox, but you are the default browser already and I use Bing too, now go away.

A: "Edge conversations are up 4%! What else can we do to increase them?" B: "Users that already have Edge as their default browser also see these, shouldn't we first fix that?" A: "That wouldn't increase Edge conversions, would it?" B: "No, but..." A: "Then we don't have time for that. What can we do to increase them?" Been there - not at Microsoft, but it's not particularly unique to them.

  Maybe B doesn't exist because B uses Chrome.

    Yeah I was wondering if they even know about it :D You'd have to listen to users (at least accidentally) or do some specific data analysis to find out I guess, if nobody on that team uses Edge.

  There's a special place in the inferno for Booking staff who send me distracting notifications about the fact that the hotel I'm currently living out of having availability. These are especially insidious as I dare not turn off their notifications, I'm staying at a place so traveler hostil they texted me 4 hours before noon check in day and said if I didn't reply by noon they'd cancel my reservation. It is a 13 hr flight to Indonesia and free universal in-air internet just ain't a thing yet. A 4 hour window to respond is beyond outrageous and irrational. Even a tourist from Japan could be without internet the whole while.

I uninstall edge from my laptop when bing search started to open a chatGPT prompt instead of showing me related links.

They push it to me all the time. Not because I'm not using edge, just because I'm using the insider (beta) version. It's awful.
