Why are people calling this a "cheap" thing to do? it's quite common here in India and is available on every bank payment option on amazon.

the tabsĪnd now i am reading these comments about edge becoming bloatware and am wondering if i missed something.Īs for this "new" feature- how is this even new? i can see how it is new for the browser but it's not a new concept on its own. Vivaldi with its soooo many options was another headache for an average joe like me. when i tried them, i went crazy!!! the UI alone was so busy. not debating the safe part, it's probably true. and then i see people suggesting brave and Vivaldi and Firefox and how customizable they are and how safe they are. even internet explorer was enough for me! 😅. I am a regular average browser person and such i stick with edge as it is enough for me. It's disappointing, and I'm considering switching from Edge because of how crappy these forced-in shopping tools have been. It's part of all of their product releases. Horrendously stupid greed is the go-to for Microsoft these days. The Slim Pen 2 comes with no way to charge it, so you have to spend A MINIMUM of $35 extra if you want to use your pen more than once. They raised the Surface Duo from $1,400 to $1,500 when it really has just managed to catch up (at best) on things it lacked from every other OEM on the market. The keyboards that used to start at $130 now start at $180. Where the SP7 came in at $750, $950 for the lowest model still sold, the thing now starts at $1,100. Surface: They dropped the entry-level Surface Pro model while raising the price of the second-lowest model by $200. Basically the whole community is mad about it, and 343 had the audacity to release this trash during a supposed beta, while they go on vacation and ask for patience while their team is "on a deserved break for the holidays." It's predatory, overpriced, and generally awful. Xbox: Halo Infinite's monetization is some of the worst in gaming, and definitely the worst thing I've seen from an Xbox title. Now, they're trying to shove bad idea financing in people's faces to make a few bucks, as if the world's most valuable company needs it. It was completely useless and irrelevant to wat I was doing, just popping up and getting in the way. It starts recommending I consider a used 2011 base Cherokee for $14K.

I go to Autotrader, looking at a $90K 2021 Jeep Trackhawk. Look at some of the recent examples:Įdge: Shopping features left and right.

This is the way Microsoft operates across most of its consumer-facing products now. Can you be surprised? This isn't an isolated act of some bad decision by one bad executive.
