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.

Mac ain't that bad, I just wish apple didn't make repairs hard and stuff.
Edit:Ios and Ipados and Tvos kinda sucks bcs they are very locked down,For some reason mac (Which is unix-like like linux) is not locked down, its only locked down to the hardware thats works with it.

For me, having it locked down is the selling point. I used to be big into jailbreaking but for 90% of users it’s better this way.

For development work though obviously having it not so locked down is kind of necessary. Luckily I don’t write apps from iOS or tvOS so it’s a nonissue for me.

Yeah it is it better for most users, but I started finding that annoying.

I agree with you there, but after being Android and Windows for years, being in the Apple ecosystem feels like a breath of fresh air
