Microsoft would also like Edge to pester you with subscription offers and upgrade opportunities.

It's cute when you search for Firefox in Edge and it begs you to reconsider. It'll be less cute with it won't let you.

Getting edged by Microsoft whenever I boot is not my ideal PC experience.

Let me get this straight: Windows 11 already artificially delays launching your chosen start-up programs, but now Edge will open itself immediately on startup?

Great job, Microsoft. Keep having your cake and eating it. It's not like Windows 11 is already hemorrhaging its userbase to Windows 10 or anything.
