After launching the new Edge browser last year to widespread praise, Microsoft has seemingly done everything possible to ruin it, including imposing unwelcome features and intrusive restrictions.

The service itself isn’t what’s making Edge users glance in the direction of Chrome, but rather, it is Microsoft’s battering ram of third-party services constantly bombarding people with “look what we added, now use it” notifications.

These complaints come after Microsoft was slammed for pushing Edge onto users who updated their PCs to Windows 11.

Edge appears throughout the browser upon initial startup and is sure to ask you to “set as your default browser” should you even dream about switching over to Chrome, Firefox, or the many other browser options available.

Now Microsoft is pushing a financing service that not only invades your browsing experience but could also open the door to cybersecurity threats.
