Well maybe instead of articles complaining about ads we educate the users on how to turn ads off and how to install ad-blockers.

But that's not what this article is about, it's a Microsoft hit-piece. That's all journalism is nowadays, mercenaries for hire.

And final point, if the ad isn't for me or anyone else here for that matter, why are we seeing an article about it? And why did noone else here mention you can turn it off?

Microsoft is not the harbinger of ads and they never will be, Google was and is. If you want to war ads, take it up against Google, their browser, their OS, and their search engine.

Ironically MS put an adblocker in Chromium by default.

You people and your biases...
