Is this how MS intends to behave?

Malware, adware, ransomware type behavior.

I had installed Edge previously, and I haven't seen what the author of the above linked article is describing. Not sure I'd ask anyone to check if it's true after reading what he wrote, though. This really borders on monopolistic practice, considering Edge isn't IE base at all, rather it's Chromium based.

I wonder if any of you folks have seen anything like what's described in the Verge article, though.

This, along with wonky updates makes me really wonder "Quo vadis MS?".

Anyway, have a great weekend!

I found nothing in the Chrome store regarding adding tiles or tabs to the Brave Browser start page.

Try this Speed Dial Extension

oh man !! That is awesome !! It works and looks beautiful. Even better looking than Vivaldi speed dial. I'm now using Brave Browser and I'm very happy, thank-you JanOscar and Daiwa , you both made my day

It was really only a matter of time before Windows replaced IE/Edge with the new Chromium version. IE hasn't been supported for years and Microsoft soon realized the engine they built for Edge was not too great either. There really wasn't an option other than including the new browser with Windows since a number of people don't have the know how to install one themselves.

In other news I personally use Firefox as my primary browser. I have others installed but like the middle ground that Firefox provides.

Same here, FF is my primary browser but I also have Opera and IE installed. Edge is also there but isn't ever used and lays dormant. I like the way FF is set up and its speed is plenty fast for me.
