    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.
