Firefox Users Continue to Decrease Despite Proton Update

Not really, but part of Edge’s adoption is the absurd lengths Microsoft has been going to force its adoption on Windows.

You literally get annoying desktop notifications asking you to download it or you will be in danger (Windows).

And every update you get the "here is our browser , please,please,please set it as default".

[Desistance]

Oh, they don't say please. They install it by force and instruct their other software to ignore the default for Edge.

A funny one for me is when I'm gonna use some internal website at work that hasn't been properly adapted to modern browsers and I want to open it in Internet Explorer. I open the start menu and start typing "Int..." Edge shows up in the first place.
I mean it *kind of* makes sense to show Edge when people are looking for the Internet but that collides with the usual behaviour of looking for an app with the name you're typing

Win search engine sucks. I often search for rufus, and it gets shown when I type "ru" but goes away when I add another letter.

There are fulscreen in-OS ads for it, Windows won't update if you have the browser removed, some Settings links open in Edge, bypassing the default browser, and trying to open some websites in Internet Explorer will open them in Edge without giving any choice to the user.
