[β] squirrel@discuss.tchncs.de 41 points 8 months ago (2 children) In my experience non-techy people just don't know what Edge and Bing are. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [β] schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.de 15 points 8 months ago (3 children) Which "non-techy people" are we talking about here? Nowadays some people only use smartphones or maybe tablets, and they might not know that. But most non-techy desktop users still use Windows and they certainly ought to know the default browser (and its search engine) on their OS, I would think. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [β] squirrel@discuss.tchncs.de 21 points 8 months ago (1 child) I'm talking about people on Windows desktops. They don't know what Windows is, they confuse Office with Windows all the time, they go online through the "internet symbol" which is their default browser that they don't know the name of. Google is their default search engine and they've never seen any other search engine. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 8 months ago (2 children) If Google is their default search engine, they must at least be tech-savvy enough to have changed the search engine in Edge, or installed another browser (probably Chrome). permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [β] Zwiebel@feddit.org 10 points 8 months ago (1 child) No they complained to enough people around them that "the internet doesn't work" until someone did it for them permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 7 points 8 months ago Is the 1# bing search still "google"? permalink fedilink source parent [β] Alaknar@sopuli.xyz 1 point 8 months ago (1 child) I love how you guys go "oooh, tech savvy this" and "tech savvy that", but you consider Chrome to be something fundamentally different than Edge without some extra features.
