How are you guys seeing this? I constantly hear these complaints but never see it myself.
It just pops up randomly. Went to go make a coffee and when I came back there it was. I'm in the UK so it's not just happening to US people.
Depends on the laws of the country with the language you picked during setup.
e.g. use UK english or German for setup and change after.
At least until they switch to detect via IP range or whatever.
While both companies are predatory I would never use Edge because its so bad and bloated its not even funny.
The fucking bing bar pop-up!!
I found edge mysteriously on my phone yesterday I'm not sure if the culprit was the bing app or the Microsoft launcher (not my main launcher I was just curious).
One thing I do know is I didn't install edge myself I use mull.
They should ditch the pop-ups and instead go ahead and make Edge/Bing the default without permission. There's nothing users can do but complain and accept it.
Not sure if you're being sarcastic, but that's how they got in trouble with Internet Explorer in the EU.
Good thing I don't use Windows.
You don't need to add "-like", The Verge. This fits the definition of malware.
