I really don't get it. I switched to Edge on Mac a while ago because it was more compatible than Safari but less bloaty than Chrome.

But I don't think they have anywhere near enough market share yet to start milking it. There is _nothing_ keeping me tied to Edge, and I haven't even really started recommending it to people yet.

In a way them doing it now (compared to later on down the line) is good. They're showing what they were going to do all along.
