This is the best summary I could come up with:

How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Google Chrome download in Microsoft’s Edge web browser?

How many times will the company try to steer me away?

The pop-ups are nearly two years old, and the injected ads are from earlier this year.

I cannot believe how many stories we’ve written about the shit Microsoft has pulled to steer you away from Chrome.

Even today, the company still won’t always respect your choice of default browser, though that may finally be changing in the EU.

Sadly the poll doesn’t include an “I’m boycotting Edge because you don’t respect me as a user” option.

Completely legal and definitely not abusing one monopoly to push for another

I use Opera because it uses less memory on my tiny $175 laptop.

Edge was good at launch, it's still okay but it's kind of a bloated mess now

Honestly Edge might be better at this point but it really doesn't matter. Google won the browser war years ago and people have too much inertia to care

They think Chrome as everybody have a Gmail account but not Microsoft account. I dont think you can login to Edge with a Google account and get all your stuff there. At minimum you first must install Chrome, then start Edge and trigger the import process - but why do that when you now already have Chrome installed?

This is true for all other browsers.
