If you don't use Bing with Edge, Microsoft will tell you your computer needs repairing.
They are not wrong.
To mend your machine:
1. Ditch Windows
2. Install Plasma
3. Your computer is ready.
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Guess what, Firefox does the same thing (a refresh will reset your privacy settings and your default browser, all of which affect Mozilla’s revenue streams) but they’re a tad sneakier/cleverer(?) about it.
(Firefox is not private by default so getting you to reset your settings is how they try to influence you to return to their preferred configuration.)
@aral @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Wait, but isn't the whole point of a refresh to reset everything?
I agree though, out of the box Firefox has become pretty bloated.
@Aaron @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Yes, to non-private defaults. Let’s put it this way: if Firefox’s defaults respected your privacy, Mozilla would go bankrupt tomorrow.
