It is endlessly frustrating that companies have universally decided that they won’t let people say “no” to stuff, ever. There are no longer options to reject stupid-ass new “features”, only postponement until next time you open the app/website/program. They’ll continue pestering you for the rest of your life. I realize that my frustration may be a little over-zealous, but we deal with these interfaces dozens of times per day and this is user hostile behavior. There isn’t really an option to just use another service or program, since the entire technology landscape has been commandeered by a few major corporations, and they all enact the same shitty things as a group.

    Microsoft: “Please use Edge!”

    Me: “No thanks!”

    Microsoft, 6 months later: “Please use Edge!”

    Me: “No, thanks.”

    Microsoft, when I visit Bing: “Please use Edge.”

    Me: “No. Thanks.”

    Microsoft, when I open Outlook: “We will be opening links in Edge instead of your default browser. To switch back, go to your preferences.”

    Me: “Motherfucker, I think we have a difference in viewpoints.”

      Yep, super annoying and you will get the same thing, but for Chrome, when hitting Google sites in Edge or Firefox.
