Funny, but unironically a pretty good idea.

Is it World 1?

Doubt a place like Ubi has a lot of room for that sort of autonomy - maybe under the table (at which point it wouldn't be much use for PR) but otherwise I'm fairly sure some manager would want to know how this is profitable.

No, no, they have a point.

Well, they've got to say something. Whether it actually makes sense is probably not even a secondary concern.

Hard to forget how soulless Ubi is, but this is still really sweet.

And not only that, but the stupid front page with stupid irrelevant news, some of which are literal, blatant attempts at fraud - "[random B-celeb from your country] has a money making tip They don't want you to know!" and that sort of shit - in the browser they relentlessly push, nag about or just "accidentally" reset as default every cunting week.

Dozens of popups, random notifications - like... why? What person with, I assume, at least half a brain stem in their head could possibly think these were good ideas?

"I don't give a shit, show me the web page and shut the fuck up!" has turned into a mantra when I have to use Edge. That's not good.

Way too realistic, they don't want to hear shit like that. Way too true.

I swear Microsoft, particularly the Windows and Edge divisions, have consultants on retainer directly from Hell - specialists in making things absolutely infuriating for no particularly good reason.

And also, s/ if.*/./

think it would make for a good Youtube video?

Because it does, for a certain definition of "good". It's blatant ragebait and OP swallowed it whole, then felt like sharing. That's exactly how it's intended to work and OP is either in on it or was played like a fiddle.

So... don't give them views by linking them all over, then?
