Windows, until a week ago. Now switched to Mac os (I despised apple for 20 years)
Microsoft hijacking my chrome tabs and opening them in edge on reboot was the last straw. Also, I bought an Xbox series x, and cloud play to my Xbox won’t work on their own os. So selling my Xbox too and switched to ps5.
Used to use Linux, but I feel for the tasks I do, Mac os is more maintainable long term
Yep… recently… I thought it’s because I had sync turned on, but, not too sure… Edge always started with the computer on reboot, and always it hijacked my Chrome sessions. Also, Chrome was definitely my default.
Microsoft had my business, all they had to do was keep edge in the background (I was paying for Xbox Ultimate, etc). But, they got greedy.
One thing that also put me off Linux as a choice as well, is that Apple have better integration of IOS Apps, and windows now has good integration of Android Apps. Even ChromeOS has support for Android Apps. But out of the box, distro’s like ubuntu don’t seem to yet
Did you make sure chrome was set as the default browser? i use firefox on windows 11 and have yet to have that happen to me, but it might be because firefox is cool
I use Firefox with Windows 11 and have had this same thing happen a few times. It seems random and not often enough to be a big deal but that and some of the other weird things and privacy concerns I’m seriously considering Linux more and more.

Lol what the hell? That’s insane. Never had this happen to me on Windows 10, is this a Windows 11 thing?
