Surely the default search engine in internet explorer in your prefix would have changed.

Default search engine changes because of reasons. Money reasons. Money reasons fueled by the product (user).

I looove CMD windows popping up at boot 😍😍
AMD's auto updater does this. But it pops up and closes instantly so I have no idea if it's actually working or just crashing.

It freaks me out every time I see it on my rig with the damn bloated ass drivers now.
I'm supposed to be clean. But it feels like computer herpes.
In reality 2/3 or more of the world population has it, but nobody wants to admit or believe they do despite science saying differently lol.

One time pirated some video editing software and after rebooting my Steam had janky early 2000s sidebar ads.
One time when I was a teenager, I somehow downloaded exactly the wrong porn and then my login screen background and windows xp startup splash screen all got replaced with a Debian logo.
Isn't this an improvement?
Nothings a improvement over windows xp not even Linux
Back in the days, you're probably right. Nowadays? I wouldn't connect online with Windows XP...

Have you tried Bing lately?
Fuck, I remember when I was using Bing religiously unironicaly in the early 2010s during my Extremist Microsoft Loyalist phase.
Loyalism, sure... We all know what's the only reason to use Bing.
I'm farming Microsoft Reward points with nonsensical searches for Overwatch coins. That's the only true reason to use Bing
Good pork results.
Windows Phone's UI is a hill I will die on, it was really nice! I actively missed it for a while when switching.
The only thing a bit shitty was the Settings. It was like a mile long, not sure if it had search or not. Was a long time ago.

I love using Microsoft Edge on my GNU/Linux machine. I actually tried switching to Google as the search engine, but Microsoft Edge said it would be sad if I switched, so for the sake of Microsoft, I decided that I'd stay with Bing forever. I love giving my personal information to Copilot so that it can generate an interview application for me in my local fast food shops such as Mcdonalds, KFC, Burger King, etc. God bless Microsoft, best company ever!!! /s
I mean Microsoft will pay you to use them to search for porn
I’ve never even checked whether it’s available outside of windows. Is… is this actually possible?

When my work colleague opens his Edge browser it always shows a page with "news" and ads. Bro... I always think of that IT crowd episode where the guy says "if this were a person, I'd shoot it in the face".
The bing homepage is so terrible
I had a friend that used microsoft edge and bing because they were the default and said that firefox is the worst and edge is much better
I did switch his default browser to firefox and search engine(on edge) to google(i wanted to switch to duckduckgo, but he hated it for no reason) while he was talking
