My other favorite is when they add Edge to my desktop periodically

Oh, and the one time they put a fucking arrow on my wallpaper pointing at Edge. That’s what finally convinced me to make it my default browser

i feel like the meeting went like that:

exec: “why is no one using it?”

dev: “shit browser, same tech as chrome”

exec: “ok? how can we increase usage ffs?”

dev: “lol, dunno, giant white arrow pointing at the icon?”

exec: “ship it tomorrow “

Lmao the absolute gall of them

Can you unpin Edge from the taskbar? That should get rid of the arrow. Or maybe the next windows update would bring it back.

Oh, yeah that was the solution lol. It’s more the fact that they took the liberty of pinning it there for me, and then drew the arrow over my screen. The sheer audacity of it all
