Beware these hidden settings if you use Google Chrome on a Windows PC…
Mozilla has issued a warning about Microsoft's design practices, claiming that the company uses harmful design tactics to influence users to switch to its Edge browser.
The report highlights how Microsoft interrupts the installation process of Google Chrome on Windows devices, promoting the security and privacy benefits of Edge.
Mozilla calls for regulatory action to restore browser choice and competition across major platforms.
The clickbait in this article is so bad, I thought it was a security vulnerability or something, but it's just something else related to Mozilla again.
I'm still genuinely curious if Mozilla is going to actually accept a renewal for the search deal with Google, or if they're actually going to start practicing with a praise and try implementing that search engine selection screen.
Legit malware shown in this article. Imagine an operating system/browser injecting what are essentially ads into your webpage. Whether or not chrome or edge are any good these are scummy tactics by microsoft
What is this clickbait bullshit? Here I was expecting more arguments I could use to move people away from Chrome, but the warning is just typical Microsoft trying to promote their own garbage browser.
Yes, what Microsoft does is pretty shitty but the article sounds like there's some massive zero day hack or something to watch out for when it's just standard business practice.
I think this will ultimately backfire on them I gave the bing app a chance on my phone and I got so tired of the try edge interruptions I unninstalled everything Microsoft.
The search was actually decent but the constant nagging was very annoying.
I updated my proton app recently and as I was updating it Microsoft edge updater tried installing updates as well for some reason.
I don't even have edge installed. I simply blocked it from having net access but still, they can go take a flying fuck at a rolling donut if they think I'm putting that on my system.
The worst thing Microsoft has done with Edge, was how they tried telling everyone it wasn't Internet Explorer, while using very similar icons for the longest time. Edge functioned a lot like Internet Explorer in how unstable and shitty it was.
I remember, something like 8 years ago, if you searched "chrome" on internet explorer, before showing you a proper link, they would show a patrocined link from microsoft that would install a "browser configuration protector" that would prevent you from changing any configuration, including of course the default browser.
I love how Mozilla is warning you that you're gonna have trouble using Chrome? It's Forbes so I'm not bothering clicking but I can only assume that Mozilla is also warning that you're gonna have a bad time trying to use Firefox.
Now sure how popular this is, but tbh,. Microsoft Edge is way better than Chrome. Yes I get it's chromium underneath, and I also do agree. And no I don't use Firefox, it doesn't play well with our stack.
