This is two gang bands fighting on the street, there is no good guy here. Google is so annoying trying constantly to push you to use Chrome when you visit their websites

"Their" is an important word here. Google's website nags you when you visit Google's website. Microsoft's browser nags you when you visit Google's website.
Using Microsoft's operating system.
On my computer.
Oh, is it? Just give M$ couple more years.
If it's your computer, you can just install an OS that doesn't do this. There are many alternatives.
Tell it to the bank that owns my mortgage. Many people, including me, have no choice but to run Windows.
You bought a house and now the bank demands you use Windows? What?

Assuming this is about "paying the bills" and using Windows at work; this is your employer/customer causing this issue for you by demanding Windows. Not Microsoft.

They aren't just fighting each other, they are fighting you.
They're not fighting in the street. Microsoft is using your house as a staging ground and requisitioning your belongings.
You misspelled "commandeering," but, yeah.
Are you sure you didn't misspell "requisitioning"?
Pretty sure, yep. We would also have accepted "hijacking" or "dragooning."

"Requisitioning" implies that you still have the choice to refuse or disobey.
