Somehow Microsoft was still quiet sucessfull with Edge in large parts of the society.
Yes that's true and I'm sure it isn't that bad. I just don't like the way they are trying to force their browser on everyone which is why I try to avoid Edge as much as possible. It's kind of a personal principle now. Microsoft likely doesn't care about that though since, as you said, they are successful with that technique.
Funny enought i installed Edge on Linux in order to use Teams decently. But happily avoid Microsoft elswhere.
Teams works fine in Vivaldi or any chromium browser on Linux.
I use Safari on my Mac, and Google is just about as bad.
If I open the Gmail site on my iPhone in Safari, I have to click past a giant "INSTALL GMAIL APP" button to get to the teeny-tiny (no thanks, continue on mobile web) link.
That said, I use Chrome on my Windows PC and Edge is frickin' annoying. It's like when you go to a car lot just to look, and the doofus in khakis and a polo won't let you walk around in peace.
