Annoying Apple now?

It’s been a sneaky one, has Microsoft Edge.
Having emerged from the technological bosom of Google’s Chromium, the new Edge appeared last year to a fanfare of irritation.
Some Windows customers were annoyed it was being foisted upon them.
Some even believed it was plainly malware.
Researchers concluded it was a purgatory of privacy issues.
I downloaded it fairly early on and was then subject to constant pestering from Microsoft to, well, download the new Edge. Which was an entirely new dimension of irritation.
Still, though I’ve clung to Firefox as my primary browser, I’ve included Edge in my browser repertoire. It’s proved to be a swift, responsive, and quite cheery addition.
