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.

i havent seen windows being mentioned in my feed for a while but this is pretty funny.

“uh, i am using a closed system made by fellas known to love money and have no respect for anyone and now to my suprise yet another thing they did is not what i want.”
