Last week, I turned on my PC, installed a Windows update, and rebooted to find Microsoft Edge automatically open with the Chrome tabs I was working on before the update. I don’t use Microsoft Edge regularly, and I have Google Chrome set as my default browser. Bleary-eyed at 9AM, it took me a moment to realize that Microsoft Edge had simply taken over where I’d left off in Chrome. I couldn’t believe my eyes.

    Edge also copies all the extensions you have in Chrome.

    I use Edge as “that browser with full tracking and no privacy that government sites require”, so it still was a dick move… had to disable them all 😒
