In outlook
Why the fuck would I want a browser with AI?
This could be asked of a thousand million other products in the past three years.
But hey, here I am replying to this comment from my AI powered pants zipper, so…
Oh neat how’s that? I’m using my buttplug. Really wish it had WiFi. The cat 6 cable can get limiting
That’s a safety tether.
“recommended by microsoft” kills me.
I don’t know what fucking idiot they think is going to say to themselves “well fuck if Microsoft recommends it that’s the way we go!”
I think the average user sees recommended and just goes with it.
That’s fucking nuts.
Tbh a lot of users might just click without even reading what this message says.
Have you not been paying attention for the past 50 years?
Not sure what you’re alluding to. I’ve been paying attention for the last 30 (how long I’ve been using computers). During my childhood I used Windows at home and macOS at school; eventually I moved on to Linux at home then a mix of Linux and macOS at home.
I haven’t used Windows since Windows XP so it’s really just a guess what you might be getting at. Am I to assume that OS vendors making poor suggestions in their UIs is normal?
Oh boy, a ChatGPT powered browser! Maybe it can hallucinate what I bookmarked and lose or leak all my passwords ☺️
gpt-4 powered browser

GPT-4 powered browser? Like they needed to make Edge an even less attractive offering or what?
It’s like how they’re adding the useless copilot key to every single laptop that ever is released
Can’t wait for GPT in my email client, so that it falls for phishing schemes when I’m relaxing.
I can tell you aren’t using outlook
Yeah the place I work implemented the “enterprise version” of outlook with their garbage AI built in.
I’ve never used the AI once, and if they don’t give a shit about company data that’s fine by me
God ChatGPT sucks so much.
ROFL This level of desperation goes to show how shit the actual experience of using Edge truly is. It wasn’t bad, before they injected Edge with AI bullshit and bloated it with other trash.
It’s not any worse than Chrome, which isn’t saying much. Firefox is still the best user friendly browser, IMO.
I use Firefox on mobile and desktop, it is my preferred browser at the moment. I still think Edge is a bit worse due to the kitchen sink approach Microsoft takes with it, Chrome is definitely competing in the worst browser space.
This is a shitshow. I use open source mobile office suite and Outlook continually refuses to open PDF or other documents as nothing is installed, so would I like to use their bag of shit instead.
install linksheet nightly
Just had a look. Much appreciated, thanks mate.
Quick question, what suite are you using on mobile? Haven’t managed to find mutch open source stuff to edit word documents.
surely you get this only if you have edge already installed?
if you just stop edging on your device, wouldn’t this pop-up never appear?
No, I don’t have edge and don’t want it.
Lots of apps override the default behaviour when opening links and ask you to use a specific browser. I actually do use Edge and have been asked if I wanted to use Chrome.
Confirming, you get this even if you don’t have Edge installed. It will take you to the store page.
I’m surprised it gives you the choice instead of the usual Microsoft nag: Set Default or Later.
GPT-4 powered
thanks for the warning!
now let me find something that works instead
GPT-4 powered browser
No faster way to get me to avoid your product than by jamming AI where it’s not needed
outlook lol
“Get Microsoft Edge to open” ? Why not just “Open Microsoft Edge”?
Because Microsoft Edge is a app that doesn’t come pre-installed on Android devices
They don’t have Edge installed so they are being requested to get it so that they can open the link.
