Microsoft forced a reboot while I was working to install updates I've tried to block. They treat my hardware like it's a part of their spyware OS. I call that anti consumer.

Saying that people should select Microsoft since Google is bad is like saying you want cancer instead of AIDS, especially in the comment section of an article advocating the importance of being able to choose neither.

That's very, very true. It's an excellent analogy.

Have you heard about the story behind Microsoft's decision, though? Google kept changing their websites to break non-Chrome browsers' optimisations (e.g. a transparent <div> on top of YouTube videos to break Edge's hardware-accelerated optimisation of video playback; they then proceeded to immediately advertise Chrome's superiority at video playing).
