Yeah it’s fair; trying to download Chrome when Edge is already there doesn’t make sense to me
Why does anyone care? Just ignore the poll and download whichever browser you want to use. If it was actually stopping me from downloading the other browser, then that's a problem.
This is the same as an advert popping up. Just bat it away and carry on as normal.
The issue is that adverts built into the OS, and into browsers shipped with it, are regarded incredibly poorly. Regardless of the ease of bypassing them and how little impact they have, they simply should not be there in the first place.
I agree. But that won't change anything. I hate adverts but they dont know, or care.
Of course I find this attempt from Microsoft to make you stick on Edge (together with all the other ones) pretty ridicolous, But after having to use Win11 + Edge for a bunch of days instead of my usual OS and Browser I really don't understand why people who doesn't give a shit about their privacy and the welfare of the internet (because if you use Google Chrome this must be your case) just don't use Edge. It's basically chrome but with more cool features and a much better integration with the OS!
So I guess in this case maybe it was not an attempt to make user stick with Edge, but just the Edge developers being annoyed by the fact that all what they do is not apreciated 😂
This comment has turned into a massive downvote farm simply because I'm saying that I use Edge... but it's probably not for long.
Just hit that button already.
