- lobstrosity420 3y agoNo one likes that either you know.
- tomComb 3y agoGoogle Maps is a service - there have always been ads in free services. Microsoft is sticking ads and deceptive practices into the OS and its tools (that you pay for).
- acomjean 3y agoI agree that it’s a service va a tool thing. The google maps web page is checking which browser you are using. The ms edge browser is watching what you are doing when you are using the web. Someone had to add code that said “if trying to download chrome send this system popup. “ which startled me when I saw it. That and my one windows machine seems to open edge when waking from sleep (maybe rebooting?)

- add-sub-mul-div 3y agoI don't have any control over that, but I can prevent myself from being upset about minor things.
- baseballdork 3y agoMinor things like articles on a website that you can easily ignore?
- jwells89 3y agoThey get pushy about Chrome on iOS if you're using any of their other apps iOS too, with a browser menu that opens when you click a link. This made sense back before iOS let you change the default browser, but it's been several years since then. Google apps should really just obey the system default and open the link I tapped without nagging me.
