They’re just making themselves look trashy and desperate.
What might work is making their software better than everyone else’s. But that requires effort and skill and managerial competence.
All of whom Microsoft doesnt posses.
I bet they still have some good devs who are continually thwarted by management.
Ye, ofc. Just let the good devs cook!
Yeah the Power Toys devs seem solid
I mean they’re exclusively writing tools for power users for eventual implementation to mainline as they develop and test simplification that doesn’t alienate the power user… So managers can’t really say they’re doing anything bad or dumb ever because it’s power user features then porting.

You can always trust AI for fashion advice.
But if we are being honest, if you don’t care about privacy, it is a good browser. Its better than chrome. You can check the performance of of both on the same machine. It also has better pdf rendering.
It’s trash. It front pages clickbait and bullshit, has no privacy, and with so many other options why bother?
I am not saying you should use it, i was addressing app quality. The original commenter wasn’t talking about business practices but app quality. Which is why isaid “privacy aside”. Privavcy is very important and i would never have someone use chrome or edge but that wasnt the topic.
You could paint it gold with premium genuine alpaca leather interiors, and I would still not use it.
It’s only function is to download a better browser.
He didn’t say it was the best, only that it was better than Chrome.
You don’t need it for that.
