It's happened, MICROSOFT in the edge browser, where I have set DuckDuckGo as my search engine, has put in an unrequested/unwanted button about a Copilot feature onto my Homepage. Why the fuck do thay pull shit like that???

Here is a screen shot of a return page of a browser search. Is more needed to be said? Try it yourself, that search.

_______________UPDATE____________

I have expanded the DuckDuck bot's statement of things -

Any questions? Perhaps many users emailing  . . .

FURTHER: In fairness, as I've found Azure easy to do without, I thought Copilot too was not in my needed ranks. Well, it is not -- but I have found it to be a helpful product and welcome so long as it remains free to me at my level of use. Charge for it, forget it. 

The Win-11 OS came with the computer, a part of its price for the OEM license to HP, but aside from paying that, Libre Office and Google Docs more than suffice, and are not charged for, so forget Office/Copilot.

This is not where Jobs in the '80s was starting the Mac and had to compromise with Bill to get the Office suite so the Mac had something to run - before Gopher and Netescape and browsers. The Mac would have been a GUI low resolution b/w curiosity without Bill and Jobs cutting a devil's bargain. Copilot, worth using, not worth paying for, and Nadella has bet the farm in financing to OpenAI, thirteen billion or more, and all M$ gets is - if it's free I will use it, otherwise there is Google etc. if Satya wants to attempt to squeeze cash in bits and drabs from users. I hate people wanting to get me on payments.

M$ is big enough to eat its mistakes, and putting that much into OpenAI on spec was a gamble. Users should not have to eat Satya's bad gamble. Shareholders can decide.
