Look, I get that Microsoft recently put in whopping investments into OpenAI and integrating its artificial intelligence tech into its products, and it wants to see a return - but we users like at least the illusion of choice. I understand why Microsoft wants to know this information and it could actually help improve Microsoft products, but the way it’s being collected will probably rub users the wrong way.
Specifically, the constant suggestions and pop-ups to try the various new revamped Microsoft products and services. You can turn the news feed off, however, and the Edge browser has other problems it should address first.
NeoWin points out that some of the most popular user complaints about Edge are listed, but not all of them, like Edge’s news feed being full of poor quality press stories. (Image credit: Microsoft) So, what do users actually think?
