If they are actually interested in the results, I think this is way better than the straight up nag screen they used to have.

Overly attached hegemon.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Google Chrome download in Microsoft’s Edge web browser?

How many times will the company try to steer me away?

The pop-ups are nearly two years old, and the injected ads are from earlier this year.

I cannot believe how many stories we’ve written about the shit Microsoft has pulled to steer you away from Chrome.

Even today, the company still won’t always respect your choice of default browser, though that may finally be changing in the EU.

Sadly the poll doesn’t include an “I’m boycotting Edge because you don’t respect me as a user” option.

The original article contains 133 words, the summary contains 108 words. Saved 19%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Yeah MS, compel use of your software by forcing it on people, cajoling and misleading them. Instead of, ya know, adding killer features that make it popular and recommended by all, the way so many of your competitors did as they ate your lunch.

That kid with abandonment issues that tries to bribe classmates to stay a little while longer by promising them candy, but instead of that kid it's Microsoft, and instead of candy it's gravel.

I think I am okay with this popup, I mean they are asking whats wrong with their product. They arent trying to break something in Chrome or like that.

If Edge stops forcing everyone with their "new and improved AI powered..." stuff, it is better than Chrome.

Am I victim of the Mandela effect or did this happen some years ago too? I remember setting up chrome on win10 in my tech-normie days and getting a similar thing, maybe my memory is failing me.

I love Edge so I never get this pop up.
