Don't be a dick.

That basically my only requirement.

You're making a lot of assumptions here. I use Firefox. But business do not.

It's not the ability that's bothersome (that part is fine, and has been there). It's the fact that this is part of the first boot screen you see on Edge now, with dark patterns to get you to do it.

Sounds like it requires one of their apps to be installed on your phone to work. So, uh, don't install their apps. Localhost tracking denied.

Edit. Also, this write is actually pretty great at simplifying the complexity involved here. Super great find, OP. Thanks for sharing!

Possible on pro (at least, for now). But, not on home last time I checked (which, admittedly, has been about a year). My daily non-work computer is not, and will never be, windows. But work is work.

Came to 11 pro during last week's updates.

Ok. Good feedback. What can I do different?

[–] 01189998819991197253 4 points 6 months ago

I'm with you. I use it on the iPad. But a part of me is a little cautious. I don't think the devs would do anything nefarious, but Russia is Russia.

I can't really completely blame the user here. Microsoft used to market OneDrive as the "last backup you'll ever need". Obviously, this was bad marketing, but a standard user wouldn't know that.

What's the opt-out? "Continue without"? Same options as the ms account screen before it.

Very cool! I hope it's a successful change.

Look into onlyoffice. Last I heard, it was Russian based software, so it might be risky. It might not be, though.
