Oh, Microsoft. You spend all this time and effort trying to win back users to your browser, with some success. Then you disrespect them with a move like this? Not great.

@Munish Yeah, it's bonkers that they would do something like this and risk their reputation in the browser space.

@lmika Wow. So Microsoft just pushed Edge right off the edge of a proverbial cliff. No doubt the suits were behind this decision.

@jayeless Yeah, it is. It's also feels completely unnecessary. Not sure what Microsoft gets out of the deal but I'm betting it's not worth annoying their users like this.
