Microsoft is trying a new way to stop users from downloading Google Chrome. If you open the Chrome download page in Microsoft Edge, you may see a new banner at the top. This version looks different from the usual prompts that ask users to stay with Edge. I’m curious, what if I download Firefox from Edge? 🤔

They DESPERATELY want you to use Edge because they DESPERATELY want to watch what websites you visit, for how long, and what you click on. They want to know EVERYTHING about you: What you buy, what you masturbate to, what you like and don’t like, how you vote, what you watch, what music you like, the clothes you wear, what you children are like, what movies you watch, who you know… THEY WANT TO KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU SO THEY CAN USE IT AGAINST YOU: ADS. PROPAGANDA. VOTES. CONTROL. WE ARE BEING FARMED

Always have been… but Google is just as bad, so installing Chrome isn’t going to help you there. Honestly, even FF or anything else on Windows wont even get you out of that fate. They’ve proven they take screen shots, likely log keypresses, etc. This isn’t new or even newsworthy anymore. Being okay with these sorts of things is like, literally part of EULA’s and such for decades. And people willingly give up privacy in trade for whatever service or product they’re choosing.
