    I’m one of those people. I hate Edge. Like, with a disproportionate amount of vitriol.

    But it actually doesn’t have anything to do with its functionality (though I’m not thrilled with the privacy concern OP linked), but rather the fact that I get bombarded with “IT’S BETTER IN EDGE! MAKE EDGE YOUR DEFAULT BROWSER! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!.” It’s the most asinine, annoying bullshit.

    In all fairness, I did finally figure out how to make it stop. It’s just ridiculous that I have to go through all of that every time I’m on a new PC. Let me browse the way I want to, damnit.
