How will this one be called? Also Copilot? Slopilot?

M$ has done more to convince people that AI is bullshit than anyone else and I just want to thank them for their hard work.
Step One: Install literally any other browser
Step Two: Make new browser the default
Step Three: Forget that Edge exists
Peace.
- Repeat step two forever when Microsoft decides there was a problem that can be solved by resetting your default browser.
You know what the true Step One is.

I hate Microsoft edge with a burning passion, and Microslop tries to force me to use it when I click any link from Outlook
Your tools actively make my job HARDER
It is so obnoxious. Fuck Microsoft, fuck Edge, and fuck Outlook.
It does this from Outlook on android too. It's horrid
Settings > Open links in

"AI-powered browser" Who exactly do these marketing people think will be impressed by that? Is it supposed to appeal to hardcore tech people? Non-techies?Will literally anyone be swayed by that blurb?
Edge was fine, i use it at work to further separate personal use from work use further. It's vertical tabs are top tier and being able to have the dev tools have vertical tabs is also a massive plots for productivity. However the latter is getting removed for seemingly no reason and once that's gone there's no boon to using edge anymore and I'll just use a separate Firefox profile or use some chromium browser for work.
How can you fumble a quasi-monopoly on desktop operating systems this hard
By changing from a company that produces a product for consumers to a company that produces stock value for share holders.
Remember this is the same company that had a huge lead and monopoly in the mobile OS market and they fucked that up royally.
When was that? I only remember Palm having a lead, and then Blackberry, and then iOS and Android. Windows CE and Windows Mobile were never more than also-rans.
I'm really loving this new Microslop name.
Also... looks like someone bought www.microslop.com and redirected to their own site: https://www.philipncohen.com/
Ugh, that sucks. That domain could've been put to good satirical use.
Hopefully they're just setting that up and in the meantime did this.
I would have bought it for that purpose if it was available.
Get ready for:
clicks hyperlink
Entire page is scraped and sent to copilot LLM to be processed. This causes a 1.5 second delay
Then after you get passed the cookies popup and promo popup, the whole page shifts and gets injected with copilot summarizations right as you were about to click on something else.
Work forces me to use edge, this'll be fun
Imagine using Edge when other browsers exist.
I use it on my work PC and I have to admit that it's not that bad...
Who the fuck even uses Edge?
I used it once to download Firefox.
This post gave me the last push to defy my employer's stupid policies and install Waterfox in lieu of Edge... thanks MicroSlop
When do they rename Edge to Copilot Explorer. :)
Microsoft aren’t content with 20 different UI styles in windows, they need a 21st. Especially after they saw the latest iOS design.
“Hey! Let’s take the new iOS design but without the transparency!”
Desperate move, desperate times.
Renaming it to CoPilot Browser in 3...2...
Did the article really not include a screenshot of the interface?
Edit: looks like the verge has some screenshots

It does look like garbage
Ironfox, Cromite, Librewolf, Ungoogled Chromium, Orion, so many much better options nowadays.
