      I mean, edge is the default browser and it’s not like you’d be crazy to say “l’m surprised people use edge as their internet browser”

      But yeah, it’s not surprising people use Google, it is surprising people don’t know alternatives are not horrible anymore and Google generally is.

      • IDK, I do think it’s crazy to say you’re surprised people use Edge. As you said, it’s the default on Windows, so a very large number of Windows users will be using it because they haven’t bothered to change the default.

        I guess I could see it as hyperbole, but not as an actual, serious belief.
