Straight up the same playbook that other entities used in the past to get your grandma to install unwanted search bars in internet explorer. No wonder Windows Defender is so advanced, Microsoft has a lot of experience as the developer of the most popular malware in the world.

Step one -- install Linux

~~Step two -- install Firefox~~

Oh, I almost forgot that most Linux distos come with Firefox pre-installed!

How about providing actual help instead of jerking of to your favourite OS?

Fuck windows. I use Linux and sometimes I do need Windows for certain things, but I just take the long route and figure it out on Linux, just so I don't have to deal with Microsoft and their bullshit

Switch to linux

Write a complaint to the CMA about Microsoft’s anti-competitive and anti-consumer behavior.

The comments are weird. How often do you even see this? I feel like I remember it once and hit don't switch and thats it. Not sure why you keep getting it, but I also don't use edge so maybe that is why. I would imagine if there is a way to stop it it's in settings somewhere or possibly a local group policy maybe.

DoNotSpy is a tool that can disable all the Win10-11 bloatware.
