The only thing Edge is good for is downloading literally any other browser…

Luckily there's still the trick of not using Edge. Who knows for how long.

Just let the AI have a teensy weensy peek at all of your emails, guys, it's just an itsy bitsy little peek, what's the big deal, why don't you trust us??

I'll hate it because this already happens with links in MS Teams where despite having a high spec work computer it makes the system so sluggish that the mouse cursor won't move smoothly for 15 seconds or so while it sorts itself out.

I mean I've already got a Core i7 with 32G of RAM and an NVME sitting on my desk so how much freaking horsepower is THIS little stunt going to take?

They really think we're stupid. Unfortunately, they may be mostly right.

So somebody took a look at the modern web and thought "Hey, this is pretty good, but you know what would make it even better? Even more shit you didn't ask for popping up in your face with every click!"

"People hate it when we force copilot and AI stuff on them, what should we do? Folks hate it so much they're actively leaving our OS!"

"Okay, hear me out: Add more."

Windows users, I hope you guys know that you have our support in these trying times. I'm wearing a ribbon and everything.

Microsoft only beats you because they love you

Install Linux, Problem Solved.

The Grammarly plugin also started opening their AI chat panel in the side panel randomly once a day. And they also have a ton of false positive highligting that's just plain ridiculous since they 'improved' their spelling checker with AI. I uninstalled it.

"Customers hate AI" means "Cram more AI into everything" to Microsoft.

haha nuke the partition, put Linux on it

Using a macbook for the picture tho. Rude.

Cool. Well, Billy pedogates, edge sucks, Outlook sucks, and copilot sucks. Don't use them. Always try to remove them. I know you love to try to shove it on me like your trying to dose the wife for you stds. But Microsoft will always be tainted by you.

I thought they wanted people to use their products?

this just pushes people away.

I used Edge for business tasks. Not like work task, or normal browsing, etc. But figured if someone was going to send me an excel document, if I say “well I opened it in edge" when it breaks, it avoids some problems.

But with the latest updates they've really been "Microsofting" it hardcore. Chrome dialogs with broken buttons, impossible to use combined tabs behaviour, dead end settings pages with no controls, crashes, slower and slower browsing...

It's becoming such a disaster I can't even use it for that anymore. Now this? Thank god Firefox is still around. Legit hearing people talking about it again...

Ugh I never looked in the top right corner of outlook till today.....there it is, that piece of shit. Why would I need a goddamn summary of an email I'm already reading

I only use Edge at work because of some screen refresh glitch with Chrome. Whenever I would do something in Outlook, the entire screen would blink for a second. Very annoying. I never put a ticket in because Edge worked fine. Now I will have to enter ticket hell.

Who is making these decisions and what is their come to blood ratio, because I'm reckoning it's fairly high.
