I thought this too, until I actually used Edge. It's quite shocking how much advertising there is in it. The default content sources contain an extremely high proportion of clickbait and "outrage" journalism. It genuinely worries me that this is the Windows default. It's such an awful experience.
- fakedang 1y agoMicrosoft is so frickking dumb they still haven't managed to grasp why the Google experience was better than the MSN/Bing experience.
- Stratoscope 1y agoThat's a fair criticism, but aren't you just talking about the http://www.msn.com/ http://www.msn.com/ default home page? That's easy to change. The first time I opened Edge, I opened Settings, typed "home" into the settings search box, and changed the "Home button" setting to "New tab page", which gives a nice simple page with a search box, like Google. Is there other advertising you've seen in Edge that is different from Google?
- LeoPanthera 1y agoYes, it has all sort of weird promotional things in it that keep popping up. Price comparisons. Coupons. Things like that.
