Forcing the use of edge for features that should be browser-neutral like Bing web search from the start menu seems very wrong in terms of user choice. However, if this is Microsoft's version of "Electron" in order to implement parts of the OS, then blocking other browsers seems pretty reasonable. It makes technical sense because they can also directly provide a Windows Login cookie for linking to their apps on the web to make them PWAs for which the user would then already be authenticated.

Maybe all that needs to be done is change things like Bing Search to normal https URL, and maybe remove browser controls like the address bar or bookmarks so they can't be used as a "browser"?

why do you need to ALWAYS stay signed in? for the past decade i have a habit of doing CTRL+SHIFT+P on my firefox and using that. i did a "privatebrowsing.autostart=true" in the past but for a few years, a simple private window is enough.

it takes me 2 seconds to click on sign in to anything and when i close the window, everything is washed away. no more youtube building my profile.

i'm not saying this is for everyone, i have gotten used to no history so i have to "remember" the url or bookmark it.

still, this is too creepy. wittill they remove private browsing mode from chrome/chromium to protect users. smh

While the UI side still needs a lot of work, I find Firefox containers to be a great compromise. Any site I want login or cookies to persist gets a container, and the rest can go in a private window.
