MS trying to shove Edge down peoples' throats

[Vivio vrvly]

Old computer without pen and not working mouse scroll, no reason for me.

Fanboys really bending over backwards to justify this. Seem to be conveniently forgetting that this is full Windows not WP or W10M. Comparing to ios and android just shows your bias or inability to comprehend the difference between the OS's. Good luck to Microsoft doing this and overriding people's default browser setting, always taking the lazy way out rather than actually making their products better.

Not a problem if Edge is set as the default browser for links from MS Mail, but there should be an option to change it in settings. Firefox for me is better for security and privacy.

It might bother you when Microsoft chucks in the towel on Edge like they did with windows mobile and Groove music. No matter how good it gets I don't want to be recreating my bookmarks and passwords in another browser in 6 months time!

It will just give users more reasons to stop using Microsoft products and services.

Edge is a steaming pile of poop. Even as a Microsoft Developer I hate it and only use it when forced to or for testing compatibility.

I use Edge but if I didn't I would find this very annoying. My main complaint is that the bookmark manager is difficult to use. I prefer Bookmark OS

This is nothing new at all. On iOS, Mail apps launch Safari. Android, Mail apps launch Chrome.
I'm not condoning the behavior, but this has been the norm for quite some time in both mobile/smartphone and desktop process.

I don't think people would mind as much if Edge was at least usable. I've been trying real hard to use it now that I got a dell 2in1. Edge is easier to use once in tablet mode, but i randomly have problems with youtube. I go to firefox, and no issues. It's frustrating and if MS is going to go this way, they really need to put in some effort to overhaul Edge.

How to get rid of this? This is really annoying. Also, it shows Microsoft & Google are not very different.

Don't think you can.

Might be weird, but ever since I got rid of Google services I haven't seen an ad for Chrome ever. (Half-joking)

So the solution as per you is to stop using Windows 10?

That's not what he said but if it helps any, I get this same pop-up on Firefox and Safari (desktop). It's not limited to Edge but it's every bit as irritating.

Well if I use Edge I get a message Chrome is a better browser and if I use Chrome i get a message that Edge is better.

I use Edge because it is the browser that gives me the longest battery life on my laptop.
