![]() Unfortunately, I get the sense that Microsoft looks at Apple’s walled-garden approach and is jealous. And, while you are free to download and install apps from various sources, there’s a feeling that Apple would rather you used the Mac App Store – much like it forces users to use the iOS app store on iPhones. Meanwhile, macOS feels a lot more locked down – it’s Apple’s way or the highway. ![]() If you’re a confident power user, you can still dig deep into Windows 11 and change things to your liking (to an extent). It’s also a lot easier to download tools that radically change the appearance of Windows 11. ![]() Windows is a relatively flexible and open operating system that allows you to install programs from various different sources, and it doesn’t nanny you too much either – something Apple is guilty of.

With Windows 12, I want Microsoft to take the hint – if I choose another browser as my default, then respect my decision. It’s a bit pathetic, but mostly it’s annoying. If you use the built-in search tool and click on a web result, it’ll open Edge, regardless of what your default web browser is.Įvery so often, Windows 11 will download an update that, after it's installed, asks you to reconfirm some settings and again tries to get you to set the Edge browser as default. However, in Windows 11, Microsoft will continue to try to make you use Edge. That would be fine, though still annoying, if once I'd downloaded Chrome and set it as my default browser that was the end of the matter. It showed ads and pop-ups begging me not to switch to the rival Chrome browser when I inevitably downloaded it. Microsoft wants us all to use its Edge web browser.
