A bit crass, but the truth is quite harsh too. While I do agree with your point overall; I don't think people are wrong to protest. We need consumers to bitch and whine about things rather than take corporate laying down.
I bet people would be less enraged if the browser didn't randomly open so often.
Oops I made a widdle fucky wucky and set myself back to default browser.
Oopsies the castrated search bar that plies you with ads until you type the exact filename or program you were looking for accidentally put the website you download it from above the program installed on your machine, don't worry I'll open that in edge for you.
Its because they're fucken addicted to dark patterns. I want to set firefox as the default. That means any file that edge opens I want Firefox to now open. Except, Microsoft doesn't do that when you set a different browser as the default. I'd rather it change everything and then I have to change the PDF viewer manually, than have to change six or seven file types manually each time. Thus wouldn't be an issue if I wasn't working at my first corporate job, if my manager gave a shit to do anything, and if my company would stop changing everything and breaking my images every other week.
It replaces Chrome
How would removing a browser break an OS? Is Window's really that fragile that it completely collapses from removing a single user-space application?
Yes. Windows is as much a browser based OS these days as Chromebooks are.
So Chromebooks and Windows are switching, that's funny. Windows is gradually becoming more and more browser based, while Chromebooks are gradually moving away.
