When you don't use windows for a few months, you'll feel like that on first boot. 'Oh, you haven't used this program on your desktop in a while (lists entire desktop). You want me to clean it up into a folder, because you don't use it anyway? I would also like to attend you to some urgent updates you need to install right now, and after that I have updates for your updates waiting, like 3 increments in a row with reboots each.' And of course, during the chore of updating, Edge appears and becomes your default browser. Take that you dirty cheater!

That just reminds me why I left in the first place. Bye!

I have to use Edge at work and after a recent update it disabled the adblocking extension I used because "it might have been tampered with". It also offered a nice Repair button which...uninstalled the extension completely.

Edge is hostile to its users and should never ever be used.

It is not hostile it is abusively helpful! It will force you into the best experience of the web, just sit still you silly goose!
