    Ars Technica[^]:

    Microsoft is taking a lot of flak for planning to integrate a short-term financing app into the company’s Edge browser. The app would allow users to make purchases immediately and pay for them at a future date.

    Install now, regret later

      Between this, the price tracking, and the difficulty of changing, I'm surprised they haven't added a 'feature' to let you know when your favorite (ahem) 'actress' (or 'actor') has a new video out. Anything to keep you glued to their screen. :rolleyes: And yes, the 'ahem' is code for another four letter word. Now they'll read this and give Kent another news item in the next few weeks. :rolleyes: X|

          Yes, but that wouldn't be progressive enough per the way MS is doing things. I imagine that just visiting a page would be enough for Edge to keep track of that 'actor' for you in the future, even if you were in private mode. "Think of the convenience for our users! They'll love it!" is the brain-dead thought going through some president's mind... :rolleyes: X|
