WHY am I being FORCED to deal with Microsoft edge?

This is insane. I woke up, turned my pc on and see that while my computer updated Microsoft sneakily installed a new version of edge. The icing on the cake, however, is that my system's screen was commandeered by an unclosable presentation forcing me to watch a slow and meticulous explanation of all of the changes you've made to my system that I never asked for and want nothing to do with.

This behavior is doing the opposite of what your company wants to happen. These forceful tactics do not make anyone want to use your service and immediately make you a nuisance and enemy to the user. It's as if you as a company feel your users are going to be too stupid to notice this change or too lazy to go back to using their original browser and just passively accept the changes you've made. We're not cattle. We make our own decisions. 

So here I am, taking up my time and energy trying to change things BACK to the way I had them, on the computer I pay a lot of money to own and maintain.

    Seriously, you say you don't try to shut down discussions, then immediately go on to try and shut down and whitewash discussions.

    I know, when someone tells the truth about a topic it might seem like shutting down a conversation of falsehoods that are being spread by folks, then so be it. 

    I'll continue to point out the truth in these forums and if you and others want to continue to spread falsehoods you are more than welcome to since the Moderators in these forums really don't moderate as if they did most of the posts would have been removed because of the misinformation being spread. However, I will continue to point them out as I despise people who lie just to try and justify their narrative.

    Also, if at anytime you think a post of mine goes against the Code of Conduct for these forums there's a "Report Abuse" button at the bottom of my post. I encourage you and others to use it if you so see fit.

    Bonne chance!

    1. Totally relevant as users are users and many of them in these forums do exactly what I describe
    2. Right, the average user is going to do that. Nice try.

    Yes, completely happy that my points are correct.

    Nothing unethical or distracting about Microsoft updating the browser in their O/S that people agreed to when they said Yes to the terms and conditions of using Windows. No different then them updating the Calculator or Maps app.

    Happier now?
