In isolation this is understandable. Bugs happen, and it happens at the worst time. But Microsoft has a pattern on dark patterns to pump up the Edge usage, and cant help but this this is somewhat planned.

- toast0 1y agoMicrosoft hasn't been doing testing adequately since 2014, when they ended their software engineer in test position.
- hulitu 1y ago> Microsoft hasn't been doing testing adequately since 2014 Maybe since forever. You always had to wait for the latest SP to have something stable. This ended with Win7. Since then they are "agile" and "rolling".
