supercriticalcheese ( @supercriticalcheese@feddit.it ) 3•2 years agoIt got installed edge on an android phone as well.
While Microsoft doesn’t normally control anything on android, my workplace requires a Microsoft intune to be installed to run the company email or teams on your phone. This effectively creates a workprofile with it’s own play store and a forced install of several applications such as edge
ElectricMachman ( @LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org ) English6•2 years agoThat’s your workplace doing that, not Microsoft
Edgarallenpwn ( @Edgarallenpwn@midwest.social ) 1•2 years agoYeah seems like a request for a work provided phone would fix it. A guy I used to work with bought a burner flip phone when something like this was required and got the company to provide a work phone. After a month or two he would just openly use his normal phone and no one batted an eye.
patchwork ( @patchwork@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English1•2 years agoI don’t like how any of these big tech companies try and force us to use their spyware vs letting people make an informed choice. I don’t agree with the technique, but the silver lining may be that we desperately need competition with browsers and the reality is that this is how US predatory capitalism works now. Companies take advantage of people because we have no proper regulation in the tech space. Maybe some people will switch to from Chrome to Edge (reskinned Chrome) Ranking for privacy on a 1-10 scale imho

achsonaja ( @achsonaja@lemm.ee ) 8•2 years agolol you’re right. I misread that, my bad.
