I’m certainly less triggered by this textual ad than Candy Crush Saga next the start menu even with my goddamn Pro license.

Also it’s quite odd that Firefox is singled out.



Btw, I should add that the always-on OneDrive button placed in a prime spot of File Explorer so that you inevitably click on it by accident every so often which then launches OneDrive, plus the regular “security” nag that you aren’t backing up to OneDrive is way worse. Surprised no one even talks about this. (IIRC the OneDrive button can only be disabled via registry or group policy. Might not even be possible on Home Edition. Ridiculous.)

Disclosure: I was actually a dedicated OneDrive user back in the days. Even wrote a full blown CLI suite for it. I pulled the crap out when they decided that unlimited = 1TB.
