I find it funny that for every person that complains about Microsoft 's bad practices there is 0 bitching about Google shoving Chrome your throat constantly when on Edge


Google shoving Chrome whenever it detects non-Chrome when you visit its properties is nowhere near as frustrating as Microsoft asking you to complete onboarding after every update and in the control panel, when the only step left in "onboarding" is to switch to their recommendations of Edge and Bing.


for me it's super annoying when I click on link inside of gmail app on iOS and it suggests at the bottom to install google chrome instead of using default browser . selected "don't show this again" many times, still I see that popup. annoying as hell


what is do you use? I'm on 10 professional and never have these problems.


10 Home does this all the time, if you don't disable it in about three places - some of which are not what you would expect to be called in places you would not expect for them to be located.

Because Chrome is already dominant as bad as it is. They are both equally detrimental to society.


If 95% of people use Chrome then you’d expect 19x more complaints about Microsoft than Google, if the complainability factor is equal.


I think everyone dislikes that as a company practice, but I have the impression that most of the people who would complain are simply not using Edge, and thus don´t remember/bother to say anything about it.
