Microsoft Edge is trying to forcefully get your Chrome tabs again
www.theverge.com
Microsoft has a new trick to try and get Chrome users over to Edge.

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.

    How so?

    I use Firefox most of the time, but if I really need to stretch the battery life I’ll use Safari. It seems significantly faster and more power efficient than anything else I’ve used. If it had better plugin support, it’d be my daily driver. Can’t say I’ve ever had issues with it rendering a page.

      Orion is a pretty sick browser letting you run Chrome and Firefox extensions in a WebKit browser. It looks/feels very close to Safari, and though having those extensions sounds super glitchy it’s actually very well-polished.
