I just got this popup while playing New vegas. I don’t even use chrome, i’ve switched to firefox. How can this be allowed? Also, this is Win10

    Microsoft clearly uses dark patterns and FUD to lure you into using Bing.

    As long as they’re using legal loopholes (or downright do not care because they have enough money to pay any fines) you cannot do anything against it except not using their OS.

      I stopped using outlook entirely for this behaviour. Outlook would embed a bing search in your long press menu on android.

        What kind of long press menu? I have it installed but don’t have any such menu.

              If you press the 3dots does it show in a list?

              I don’t have whatever other apps are showing in that list so it was showing up first

                Microsoft rolling out different misfeatures to different users would be some next-level gaslighting. I would not put that past them.

        Oh God, that was so annoying! Once I realized which app had added that, I uninstalled it with alacrity. I have to use Outlook for my job, but that doesn’t mean I’ll use the mobile version ever again. And the web-based one actually works fine on mobile devices.

          Yeah absolute pisstake. I’ve moved to Proton Mail and forward any left to transfer emails and use the outlook lite app to manage it, it’s actually not that bad.

      MS is a spam company and it’s turned me into a daily Linux user.

      Ironic, because I used to use Bing (over Google) and all this kind of bullshit - especially aggressively pushing their chat bot - pushed me away (to DDG).

      I mean, it depends on your design of the fines. If you ask for a days revenue per day of violation, this stuff will never happen again (since this is no mistake, it is totally fair price). A month of this and their yearly profit is in the government hand.
