    What does “built for Windows 10” even mean? It’s just a browser. It’s even cross platform.

      That unlike teams, which they didn’t bother to build for windows and instead used a webapp, they actually bothered to use their own ui tools on their own operating system for a change? (But I guess they only did that so that teams could be a webapp, based on edge…)

      Maybe they meant it integrates well with other windows 10 apps?

        Integrates how?

      You’re right, clicked it away so many times over the years and never stopped to think what a silly statement that was. I feel like it was for a time when 10 was a new shiny ‘mysterious’ thing, that it might convince people into thinking it needed something special, but has just aged like milk.

      It’s integrated into the OS

        In what way is it “integrated”? Please, I’d love to know.

          Microsoft Edge is integrated with File Explorer in Windows 10 through a feature called “Pick up where you left off”. This feature allows users to resume their browsing session from Microsoft Edge directly within File Explorer.

          Their other apps use it or part of it in the background.

          Kind of like old Windows apps always used Explorer when they needed a browser

          I wouldn’t be surprised if the start menu was using Edge for their search/ads

            You’re telling me, that Windows now shows ads in the start menu?

            Sorry, it’s probably a stupid question, but i haven’t used windows since XP.

              Most are in your system notifications but you’ll have “suggested apps” in the start menu for easy one-click installs

              When you try to log out you’ll see ads for OneDrive and Office 365 apparently

              There’s this

                Wow - that’s really something.

                It could almost be compared to Google’s feed, included in the pixel launcher…

                For some time now, every 5th or 6th card is an ad … And over time they slowly look just like the normal news cards.

                Yeah, nowadays we’re getting ads forced upon us - one way or the other ads have to be seen, preferably clicked on, by us.

                That’s not really ads though.

      Almost everything that runs on Windows was built for Windows. So it’s a true statement, but pointless. That’s like BF Goodrich advertising their tires as “built for cars”.
