So they basically messed around with third-party software settings to push their shitty products. This is pathetic, predatory and should be illegal.
How do you deal with Microsoft's crap on a daily basis? Any similar stories?
Probably someone' house at Kabo at Microsoft depends on some OKR and metrics to show growth for Edge. Pathethic, short-sighted, but most probably true.
I don't; I develop on Linux. Ignoring this, within my very limited usage of Windows, it seems to me that MS has become increasingly more hostile over the last few years or so.
To answer with something actionable: I discourage people from upgrading to Windows 11.

I am dead serious. I have been using Windows since 3, using betas of Microsoft products since Longhorn - right now, Windows is reaching it's PEAK in terms of performance, ecosystem.

I’m only looking at computers that natively ship Linux from now on — that OS was a disaster, that doesn’t even support basic functionality and was shipped without support docs or training their support staff.
