remind me again how this isn't anticompetitive?

This. Regulators are a joke

Edge can’t be anticompetitive if no one is using it

Imo asking why you leave is fine, many programs and extensions do it. The problem is that you never chose Edge but still have to use it to download another browser!

remember in the 90s or 00s when Microsoft had that antitrust case, and when you loaded up IE, it asked you what browser you wanted? We need that again, along with the antitrust case.
