It just pops up randomly. Went to go make a coffee and when I came back there it was. I'm in the UK so it's not just happening to US people.
Switching to Linux was a great decision. Windows has gone downhill since 2009
I'm not sure how this is different from Google pushing popups in every Google app to switch to Chrome.
While both companies are predatory I would never use Edge because its so bad and bloated its not even funny.
I found edge mysteriously on my phone yesterday I'm not sure if the culprit was the bing app or the Microsoft launcher (not my main launcher I was just curious).
One thing I do know is I didn't install edge myself I use mull.
You don't need to add "-like", The Verge. This fits the definition of malware.
The fucking bing bar pop-up!!
Microsoft is using malware-like Windows 11
Removed fluff
They should ditch the pop-ups and instead go ahead and make Edge/Bing the default without permission. There's nothing users can do but complain and accept it.
They are already half way there. File defaults often reset without an obvious reason. It's been happening since 10.
Not sure if you're being sarcastic, but that's how they got in trouble with Internet Explorer in the EU.
Good thing I don't use Windows.
