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.
MS isn’t bothered because the vast majority of people don’t give a shit. “Many” is doing a lot of lifting in that paragraph. Its probably more accurate to say “…a few people distrust Edge…”
That’s a shame since literally everyone should distrust Edge, given Microsoft’s history with browsers (and everything else). I don’t think anyone matches Microsoft’s caviler attitude of “We know there are hundreds of gaping security holes that allow attackers to take full admin control of your computer, but we’re just going to mark those bugs as will-not-fix and blame the users when something goes wrong.”
