Well there’s your problem!
The clickbait in this article is so bad, I thought it was a security vulnerability or something, but it’s just something else related to Mozilla again.
I’m still genuinely curious if Mozilla is going to actually accept a renewal for the search deal with Google, or if they’re actually going to start practicing with a praise and try implementing that search engine selection screen.
Microsoft really wants someone to remind it of these days:
I like that part of firefox’s summary was that it’s free. Uh, yeah, they all are. Thanks Mozilla!
Well, its not proprietary
Microsoft:
So Microsoft just does the same shit they’ve done a hundred times before and have been penalized for a hundred times before.
Give them a few billion dollars fine.
Jail those managers that made this decision
THAT will make sure they will start behaving. If not, it’s all just “please don’t” and Microsoft being “suuuuurely we would never ever!”
Fuck Microsoft
have been penalized for a hundred times before
That’s where you’re wrong. The last time they shoveled their browser at us in clearly anti-competitive ways they were found guilty and then … nothing. Essential software or some such, and nothing.
So no, they haven’t been penalized; not on their Sherman offence, and here they go repeating it.
Hammer them.
Again, install Linux already and be done with this shit.
That’s always so easy to say, isn’t it?
Far easier to do too. I did one of each last month and there’s no question that the Windows setup experience is terrible in comparison.
Now sure how popular this is, but tbh,. Microsoft Edge is way better than Chrome. Yes I get it’s chromium underneath, and I also do agree. And no I don’t use Firefox, it doesn’t play well with our stack.
Use a better stack
I’m sure they’ll get right on convincing their comment too ditch a bunch of suggested they’re heavily invested again. Should be easy and not a career limiting move at all.
