Microsoft Edge is trying to forcefully get your Chrome tabs again
www.theverge.com
Microsoft has a new trick to try and get Chrome users over to Edge.

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.

    Thanks for the help. I’m not fond of invasive a anticheat as it is, played like 10 minutes of Fortnite when it was a survival game, and I’m sure I can use the high seas to get around game pass. I’ll have to check a couple of specific games, but I think I might be pretty good to go

    This may be a silly question, but as far as online games that work, it shouldn’t matter if my friends are on Windows, right?

      For the most part it’s fine like the other comment mentioned.

      However there are a few edge cases like Borderlands 2 that is like pulling teeth to make work.

      It shouldn’t matter, Linux and Windows and Mac are all compatible ‘PC’ platforms. As long as the game is supported/runs, you should be good.
