The Edge browser "experience" was the final straw that pushed me over to MacOS. The whole in-your-face pushy behaviour in Edge is awful. I very often have to install software on new Windows servers and every time when I have to open the browser I have to go through the deshittifaction steps for the default home page and the whole "can I have all your data" wizard. Also Edge tend to "forget" privacy settings with new updates and re-enable many privacy invasive features like Page Preload, Bing etc. And you also have this Copilot sh*t and the whole sidebar with Coupons!?!? It's also creeping over to the Start Menu and the Taskbar.

I really wish the FTC would step in and do something
It's really weird that there's a giant, Microsoft-shape gap in the pattern of all the recent FTC enforcement actions.
Microsoft is the U.S. military industrial complex's IT support. All of it. They are effectively the U.S. governments tech branch.
