#BattlEye is an anti-cheat system used in some of the leading online multiplayer games. Unfortunately, it can get a bit grumpy when #VivaldiBrowser is set as the system default web browser.

Do you have any thoughts on this new prompt that Microsoft puts up when you click on a link in the Microsoft Outlook app for Android? The right option is always to use the system #DefaultBrowser! #BrowserChoice #MicrosoftEdge

Welp. After 10-ish years of chrome as my daily driver, I'm finally switching off. It just doesn't have the features or performance it used to (or should) in my brain.

@Cluracan Being stubborn as much as I can. I have Edge as a backup, but default to Firefox. The most notable offender right now is Fedex. A couple months ago, tracking stopped working under Firefox and always displays an error. (It occasionally errors on Chromium too! But much less frequently.) #BrowserChoice

I strongly dislike the captive audience prompts that Microsoft forces on Windows users. Microsoft shouldn’t misuse Windows Updates and security patches as an opportunity to market its other products to customers. #BrowserChoice #TyrannyOfTheDefault
