Edge Collections - Star To Collect - bad idea not to include a remove option
I noticed in the newer versions of edge collections "Start to collect" - After searching I've found this to be a very bad addition to collections. Collections actually got me away from pocket but wi...
I really am hating the "push marketing" crap Microsoft has been building into Windows (widgets), Bing Home and Start pages,, Microsoft Start, and now Edge Collections. I want my information to be private. If I want to look for something I can do so, I do not want my time and attention to be wasted with any push marketing crap. Especially in areas where it does not belong. I should be able to use a computer and my phone without being subjected to crap load of push marketing. This is originally what took MSN (the horrific progeny of Netscape search) and Yahoo down the path of being the least used and least favorite search engine.
I have been a proud and unapologetic Microsoft supporter to the point that all that know me, have me surnamed, Microsoft's Freak Defender. With all of this new push marketing, Microsoft will lose me, heck I may even move to using an Apple computer and Chrome, my heretofore hated enemies.
Seems they don't care about losing customers. Look at Windows Phone. They have an incredible ability to ruin anything that works well. Take a look at Skype, Windows phone, now even the built on e-mail too!
- If Microsoft is listening it should at least post some acknowledgement.
These discussion board begin to look like a waste of time.
I can get most of routine work done with Linux. Linux Devs have enthusiasm and do respond. Any that don't can be cast aside for others. Competition seems not to affect Microsoft- Yes, that's it. And now, those who activated Windows 11 with a Win 7 or Win 8 key will lose activation in case of a simple clean reinstall or hardware change (I am not talking about OEM keys). Microsoft want us to adopt Windows 11, right? Sure, buy a key for more than 200 Euros on MS Store.
- Outrageous pricing. There are companies that sell genuine Windows keys (if from some kind of bulk licensing it has been deemed legal) for a lot less. I canot name them here so you just have to be careful. 🙂
No, Microsoft does not care about this issue at all. Forget Collections and forget Edge if you may. - that's what I did. I started using Firefox but I am also using Edge again because of the "Workspaces" feature. I used Collections a lot, I've lost almost all my items and then "Start to collect" appeared.
- Sad that Firefox collections does not work on Windows
