Microsoft Edge is trying to forcefully get your Chrome tabs again / Microsoft has a history of tricks to get you to use Edge, and the latest one targets Chrome users once again (www.theverge.com)

Microsoft clearly isn’t bothered that it’s automatically starting up Edge on people’s PC and then trying to trick them into importing their Chrome data. That’s not too surprising though since Microsoft has been pulling tricks like this for more than four years now.

Microsoft’s behavior here makes many people distrust Edge, Windows 11, and even the company’s AI efforts.

If you're concerned about reinstalling, grab another drive and swap it. You'll be able to play to your heart's content and still swap back at a moments notice if you need your windows install again.
