Edge and Microsoft have nowhere near the browser share needed to pull this behavior. And this differentiator is a detractor for me rather than a useful feature.
But then again this wasn't built for the end-users, this is clearly revenue base. Just another reason to not use Edge.
I used to have a more positive version of microsoft up until the point they started flexing their evil muscles to push low quality products into technically unsophisticated users. Edge+Bing+Office+Windows feeding on each other is the greatest example right now.
Gladly we acted as quickly as possible where I worked to leave github when they announced the msft acquisition, so at least my part is covered.
As if Windows itself is free. I mean it technically is, you can use it just fine without activation, but isn't the cost of these licenses supposed to pay for everything?
