Whenever this is brought up, the silence is deafening.
Edge is a good browser, and users are notoriously lazy; most won't read a dialog box before clicking it away. And yet... ~everyone on Windows still downloads Chrome.

- spongebobstoes 2y agodoes google.com still push Chrome? I think it does, and it's most people's first website
- CatWChainsaw 2y agoIME if I am using a non-Chrome browser I get three nags from Google to switch to Chrome before it gives up. It's happened on Google's home page, Gmail, and Maps.
- zen928 2y ago> Whenever this is brought up, the silence is deafening. Because it's a bad faith argument meant to dismiss all context surrounding the situation to be a reductive 'gotcha' point. Anti consumer practices are still harmful even if people willingly opt into them, and there's no cute soliloquy for you to publicly muse onto us here that would be able to suggest otherwise to dissipate the sentiment. Your parent poster commented on the nature of learned helplessness to an obvious problem by framing it as leading a horse to water. They were talking about people like you.
- akoboldfrying 2y agoI'm starting to notice that a popular rhetorical tactic for attacking an argument is to claim that it is in bad faith. Interestingly, making such an accusation when it is unwarranted, as is the case here, is itself a bad-faith argument. But I suppose this is just another cute soliloquy that I am "musing onto" you.
