- Users of Google Chrome on Windows 10 and 11 are reporting that they have suddenly found themselves using Microsoft Edge, with their Chrome browsing sessions appearing in Edge.
- This may be due to a bug or an accidentally clicked-through dialog box related to a feature in Edge that imports browsing data from Chrome.
- The setting, called “Import browsing data from Chrome,” continually imports data from Chrome every time Edge is launched, unlike the one-time import offered for Firefox.
- There have been concerns about Microsoft’s tactics for pushing its own browser, including notifications, pop-ups, and full-screen messages promoting Edge and Bing.
- Microsoft has become more aggressive in pushing various subscriptions and features in recent years, making a “clean” Windows install feel less so.
- It remains unclear whether the Edge data-import issue is intentional or a bug, highlighting concerns about Microsoft’s methods for promoting its own software.
Fuck those games. They have a license agreement with Microsoft and want you to be using their spyware.
So I shouldn’t be able to play any of my GOG games and write them off? Fuck outta here
As a steam deck user, (who is very familiar with Lutris) I am aware that Linux is not yet 100% foolproof for non proton games and downvoting users because you don’t like it just entrenches the stereotyped idea that Linux users are prude.
I’m not saying you should have to. You just gotta put up with the spyware that is Windows if you do. I’m saying that the companies who go out of their way to not work on Linux are bad companies.
Oh yeah for sure we all know the ones that purposely make changes to break steam deck like Ubisoft
Use Heroic for GOG/EGS. It also runs steam games if you want a unified experience.
