    Om Windows 10 you have the option to turn off showing news about new features. I guess it would cover this. Try Google it.

      You “earn” points by searching and doing daily stuff which you can redeem for gift cards/rewards.

          Yeah. It’s been that way for at least a decade. My dad used to use bing for reward points and was scoring an Xbox controller every 3 months or so.

              Unfortunately a lot of people have thought the same thing, and I believe they’ve cut down on that. Wouldn’t hurt taking a brief look into it, though. However, the rewards points aren’t as valuable as they used to be, I’m pretty sure.

          Taking a page out of Brave Browser’s book. So brave.

            Bing rewards has been around for 6 years longer than the brave browser has existed (2010 vs 2016)

        That definitely happens with the Windows 11 update screen my wife keeps getting on her laptop. When the device boots, it appears to have already started the installation, but it’s just a fullscreen advertisement to install Windows 11.

      Yes, it continues to prompt occasionally afterwards.

      They have a bunch of these things that get prompted periodically even if you said no initially (like things on install/upgrade). SOME of them only come back once. But Microsoft dynamically chooses what to push on people so that can change at any time.

    Step one – install Linux

    Step two – install Firefox

    Oh, I almost forgot that most Linux distos come with Firefox pre-installed!
