Why does anyone care? Just ignore the poll and download whichever browser you want to use. If it was actually stopping me from downloading the other browser, then that's a problem.
This is the same as an advert popping up. Just bat it away and carry on as normal.
I didn't realise 9/11 and ISIS were microsoft polls...
I also dont remember saying it would make it go away. It doesn't affect anyone in any way. Altough it does trugger some people on here who then decided to compare microsoft begging people to use edge to a terrorist group and a terrorist attack on the wtc.... wtf
The issue is that adverts built into the OS, and into browsers shipped with it, are regarded incredibly poorly. Regardless of the ease of bypassing them and how little impact they have, they simply should not be there in the first place.
I agree. But that won't change anything. I hate adverts but they dont know, or care.
