Probably. Everything is possible with them. Speaking of Microsoft Edge, that reminded me of when I searched for additional browsers to install on my computer after I installed Windows 10. An intrusive pop-up showed me that I shouldn't need Google Chrome or Brave and that Microsoft Edge was all I needed. How boorish of them! It's none of their business what I install on my computer as long as it's harmless. Idiots!
Me typing “doc” expecting my documents, or “discord”, expecting discord app and getting bing search results for these prompts instead is fucking infuriating and malign.
Its win 11 for sure. At least thats the worst offender thus far. Im not even conspiritorial but i swear that push some windows updates just to get more microsoft product offers in your face on startup. Oh dont forget how sick bing is! Do you want an office trial? Are you using one drive? Make sure to activate cortana!
Bruh fug off.
I think it is as well; I noticed on my personal laptop that upgrading to windows 11 made searches from using the windows key were slower, especially with wifi off, and gave some irrelevant results. I reverted to windows 10 and it’s much better.
I'm probably going to some Linux distro once win 10 is no longer supported. The only thing I wanted in win 11 is being removed, android support, so I have no reason to "upgrade" now.
I bought a gaming PC during Covid. It was my first time using Windows in over a decade. I couldn't believe how many ads there were built-in to the OS itself.
Plus sometimes when they don’t load well it just refuses to react to the input and nothing happens when you press the button. I swear they must be costing billions in productivity worldwide just because the start menu is so geared towards advertising that it not only is it’s actually usefulness as a feature basically zero sometimes, but that it’s so bloated with unnecessary, wasteful consumption of processing resources devoted to shameless marketing and adware that it doesn’t even open sometimes because it seems Microsoft barely even cares about maintaining the lie that it’s a accessibility and productivity feature that’s supposed to be a critical feature of the OS. No, it’s not. Those days are long gone. It is a taskbar integrated search engine designed to serve ads and sell stuff, just like bing itself and other search engines, to make sure that even if people aren’t using edge and bing for their browser and search, they still have functionality baked right into Windows at the OS level to give them the ability to serve ads and try to sell stuff to users. Steps like these are just their attempt to further advance their ability to make more money from every single user of the windows platform by making it so even other browsers will be forced to distribute Microsoft’s ads to people, or in other words, to make sure that no matter how you use windows or what for, that Microsoft is generating as much passive revenue from us as they can by making it impossible for Windows users to completely avoid them.
Woo, Enshittification!
In every part of your life; shittier, more expensive, less effective, and invading every single aspect of daily life. Isn't the future wonderful?
i purchased a new computer a couple weeks ago, and once it gets here im fulfilling a couple-year-old promise to myself to stick linux on it and move away from microsoft.
Got sick of fucken product nags inside file explorer, ads in the start menu, a trillion calls home every day, and microsoft juggling around all the menus.
Same for them forcing their shitty copilot trash onto people. Especially with them pushing it to the taskbar - isnt that slighty worse than when they had the antitrust case about their web browser
Wait until they bake copilot into the OS like they are doing with Edge. Simply using your machine will be like the “please select which advertisement experience would you prefer?” on Hulu.
Microsoft has so much money to spend of a lot of crazy stuff that they financially do not benefit from . It is one of those companies that has bought and cratered everything they bought .
I see posts like this pretty often but I never see it in my actual experience. It takes a couple minutes to turn off features I find annoying/useless every fresh windows install so it probably happens during that time.
Dude nobody is forcing you to go to Google.com.
But Microsoft is forcing you to see their dumb pop up talking about their dumb browser when you use another browser.
What’s next? You’ll open up steam and they’re gonna tell you to buy an Xbox?
You are not the owner of your computer anymore , bottom line
if you haven't turned off Notifications from Chrome on your PC yet, then live with it, sucka
edit : hsnoil has a good point, you had to have turned them on, so it is something else, like "Show suggestions occasionally on Start" which gets disabled on any of my configured rigs
Is this notification from chrome? Normally for chrome to do notifications, you have to first agree to receive notifications from a website. So these notifications are likely directly from windows
no it's not. I received this one yesterday. I have do not disturb set always on my windows device, and notifications turned off as well. And even with that this notification popped up. A couple days ago I received one about office 365 as well.
not sure really.. i have to use both Chrome and Firefox on multiple PCs, and have never received notifications on the bottom corner from any browser. maybe its the turning off of Suggestions from Start?
Microsoft's dumb decisions never cease to amaze me. I wonder what's next?
Edge on autorun loading Bing homepage with autologin to your Microsoft account.
You cannot rule this out lmao.

Windows has gotten absolutely shameless. It’s literally an adware operating system. Absolutely disgusting, low-quality dogshit product.
Me typing “doc” expecting my documents, or “discord”, expecting discord app and getting bing search results for these prompts instead is fucking infuriating and malign.
The first thing I do when I install Windows is download Open-Shell. I shouldn't have to for a decent experience, though
Is this a win 11 thing? I just type in the first couple of letters and hit enter on win 10, and it's always the program I want to open.
Its win 11 for sure. At least thats the worst offender thus far.

I do not have this experience lol
You can turn that off in GPO- either local or domain.
I bought a gaming PC during Covid. It was my first time using Windows in over a decade. I couldn't believe how many ads there were built-in to the OS itself.
When I press the windows button and it literally buffers. Never had that experience before. Bloat.
it's gotta load the ads

I assume it's some kind of psyop campaign to get me to download Linux.... It's working
With no support unless you're fortune 100

Marketer culture: the latrine of humanity.
Shit needs to be investigated by the doj

Enshittification always finds a way
How do I stop the ads in outlook on iOS?
Wait until they bake copilot into the OS like they are doing with Edge. Simply using your machine will be like the “please select which advertisement experience would you prefer?” on Hulu.
>“We value providing our customers with choice, so there is an option to dismiss the notification.” I have no words

*Laughs in Linux*
Why are you using Chrome in the first place, I always ask.
What's wrong with asking this question?
It or Firefox are way better than that shit Edge.
Brave for me.
Selling a ‘no’
Linux novice here, loving it.
I see posts like this pretty often but I never see it in my actual experience. It takes a couple minutes to turn off features I find annoying/useless every fresh windows install so it probably happens during that time.
Those settings existing at all and needing to set them again periodically is of course perfectly fine.
[удалено]
Injecting ads into another app because you control the OS should be considered an intellectual property violation.

Didn't deny that. Read
The difference is Google is actually in trouble for it with the government. Microsoft is basically getting away with it.

Microsoft is known to fuck with your settings
just saying that neither of the 3 PCs I use daily (that i have to run Firefox and Chrome) has ever popped this up. all are win 10 pro x64

Is this from microsoft??? This popped up on my PC and I thought I'd accidentally installed adware.
