4 months agoEhh, time to play a bit of a devil’s advocate.
“Bing with Edge”,
- it’s talking about search engine in edge
- a lot of malware will change your search engine, so that may make sense, for less knowledgeable people
- it won’t do anything on its own, you need to accept the repair step, for your default browser and/or search engine in edge to change
Yes, it’s not a great security practice, and it probably should work more like "we’ve noticed you have randomly changed your search engine from google/ddg/bing/whatever to this ‘random search engine no-one heard about’’ instead of blindly reverting to edge and bing.
It seems to be a tool for tech illiterates. A power user will know how to avoid malware, and remove it if they catch it.
They should do a much better job than that, but helping people that don’t know what they’re doing is not itself a bad thing.
