It’s probably a good idea if you can turn it on and off like this one and be careful, but it likely still needs polishing. That was when it was first out.


















    • Baked in advertising and telemetry.
    • Resources hog.
    • Desperate attempts to get you to use Edge.
    • Decides to auto install bloat for you and continues to do it throughout its life cycle, like their AI cooilot and Dev Home.
    • Fresh installs are filled with bloat incl services.
    • Decides that it knows what you want to do better than you.

    My laptop just had a hardware failure and I’m borrowing my partner’s and had to uninstall the same bloatware 2-3 times today on a new profile (literally shit like ads for software downloads, solitaire and the MS Office extended universe).
