Ever caught in the crossfire of tech tug-o-war, the seemingly peace-loving Internet user finds themselves at the heart of a battle: Microsoft vs. every dang Internet browser you’d rather use than Bing. Microsoft, an apex predator in the tech jungle, has a slight steer-you-toward-Bing obsession. They have battled hard (and are still fighting) to get Microsoft to respect their browser preferences without being strong-armed into using Bing. It’s rough out there for a non-Bing browser. It’s like being the uncool kid at a party that the host was forced to invite. But fear not-dull-edge Internet Explorers, Chrome devotees and Firefox aficionados, keep fighting the good fight! In the digital domain – Bing is that wight-dragon, Microsoft is the Night King, trying its darnedest to make Bing the only way to surf the ‘Net, and we, dear Internauts, are left with our dragonglass, trying to preserve our choice of browsers. Here is hoping for a win, and soon, lest we all get frozen in Bing-dum!

Tired of Chrome’s clingy behavior? Meet Arc, the flashy new web browser that’s here to steal your heart (and your idle browsing time). With its “shareable” features like Spaces, Folders, and Split Views, Arc might just have Chrome shaking in its boots. But don’t throw your ex to the curb just yet, because only time will tell if Arc can really live up to its shiny promises. It seems like Chrome might just need to up its game and show off its old charms. Who knew a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow would come with nifty sharing features?

Tech giants are laughing all the way to the bank as they roll in ad revenue like there’s no tomorrow. It’s enough to make small countries jealous of their piggy banks. So next time you’re about to click ‘skip ad’, remember that you’re denying these companies another diamond for their already bursting treasure chests. It’s a sparkling pie that’s hard to resist.

Welcome to the US v. Google antitrust trial, where we delve into the riveting world of defaults. Turns out, even though we like to think we’re in control, the default option holds immense power. And who’s the reigning king of defaults? None other than Google, who just casually spent $26.3 billion to ensure they’re the top dog. It’s like they turned their pockets inside out and said, “Oops, looks like I dropped some loose change.” But hey, when you’re the Dumbledore of Digital Dominion, money is no object, right?

Apple has pulled a rabbit out of its hat with a surprise event, proving that even tech giants like to keep us guessing. Rumors suggest that supply chain problems delayed the announcement of new products, but Apple is breaking tradition by hosting a standalone event. Prepare for “oohs!” and “aahs!” as Apple unveils its latest tricks. It seems Apple not only designs tech but also understands the art of suspense – just like that friend who throws a surprise party when you’re ready to Netflix and chill.
