Yeah, I think they were sued sometime in 1998 by the US government for bundling Internet Explorer with Windows 98, and because many people just used IE, they were practically making it harder for competitors to get ground.

Microsoft seems to be hurling towards another lawsuit at record speed with Edge and their practices to make it harder to switch from Edge.

Didn’t they already get sued over something like this with ie?

Of course they wouldn’t. They’re adding features that would make people think that other browsers are “bad” and use Edge instead (which you shouldn’t, Firefox is way better).

In all seriousness, they’re trying to be competitive by getting themselves good PR.

But is it just me, or is Edge trying to be something other than it is? A downloader for an honestly better browser? Seeming on how Microsoft made it so damn hard to set another browser as the default on Windows 11 (seems sorta anti-competitive, don’t ya think?), I think so.
