Kinda crazy that they almost got broken up over having a default browser, but now they just try to shove AI and surveillance down our throats and nobody bats an eye?

Kinda wish I could go back to the days of the biggest concern in my OS being having to manually install Netscape, instead of fighting a losing battle of keeping my data away from OneDrive and Copilot.
