Microsoft is trying a new way to stop users from downloading Google Chrome. If you open the Chrome download page in Microsoft Edge, you may see a new banner at the top. This version looks different from the usual prompts that ask users to stay with Edge.

I’m curious, what if I download Firefox from Edge? 🤔

        As much as I would personally hate that, it honestly wouldn’t be a bad choice for my aging parents and my IT load when I visit them.

        Linux is likely in their future, but thin clients for them would greatly reduce and centralize their compute considering what they actually need.

          Have you used any of the Microsoft cloud products?
          It’s completely ridiculous how bad they are, especially for admins.
