Microsoft Edge is misbehaving.

Last week, I turned on my PC, installed a Windows update, and rebooted to find Microsoft Edge automatically open with the Chrome tabs I was working on before the update. I don’t use Microsoft Edge regularly, and I have Google Chrome set as my default browser. Bleary-eyed at 9AM, it took me a moment to realize that Microsoft Edge had simply taken over where I’d left off in Chrome. I couldn’t believe my eyes.

    Funny how the EU council considers iOS to be a big problem but not Microsoft’s behavior around Edge. Both need to be corrected, but only one has seen any action - and it ain’t Microsoft.

      Accordingly to The Verge, “EU regulators have “tentatively concluded” that Bing and Edge aren’t dominant enough for the DMA regulations”.

      I agree that both need to be corrected though. The issue is Microsoft’s behaviour being unacceptable. It also creates a nasty situation, where other corporations might argue “you allowed Microsoft to do it, so allow us too, otherwise you’re being unfair.”
