I keep using Edge browser, and all of a sudden there comes a need to search something in google. (I feel google image search is better)
then I minimize Edge browser, open Chrome and type the search key and search.
It doesn't strike to mind that Chrome is not google. The separation of layers (browser-search engine) are mixed up. 
Its almost like looking for an android phone to login to your Gmail account. loll

Not "mixed up" but "better integrated" - and you don't have to use Google in Chrome, you can select your preferred search engine: "three dots", "Settings" - and it's under "Search Engine"

Mine says Google but uses Bing. It's been like that for the last few days after MS released some Windows updates.

Them: I'm having a problem viewing the site
Me: What browser are you using?
Them: Google

That's Microsoft's cunning trap. They've done something with their Browser that's very crookedly stopping me to look for Chrome.

Beaten into submission. 
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

First, I hate unneeded thank you email, when the previous email warrant no response.
Its 2018, I can understand back even only 10 years ago that the reliability that an email was sent to the wrong person or caught in spam maybe. Is that still a concern today?
Even worse, when it from work colleagues in the same room.
"Here are the reports for Jan." < me: no thank you needed. that is my job.
"Can you run of the numbers for Jan" // "Here, attached." < no thank you needed.
Outlook, i know how it was sent to.
If they complain, I have sent items to show it was sent to them.
Additionaly, this is with a group of developers. Why are you wasting my time with a meaningless email. Say thanks in person next we walk past, when I am not trying to focus of coding.

Generic politeness. Some of us were brought up to say "please" and "thank you" at every opportunity.

In the corporate world, and especially between business units, it can be like 100-200 thank you emails a day, if you thanked everyone - clutters the process.

Yeah, well. If Jan would get his own elephanting reports and run his own elephanting numbers, it would de-clutter the process even more.

Quite right.
And I would think it depends on the medium of the conversation so far. If conducted entirely in email, it seems appropriate to me to apply thanks that way too. I see no need to dispense with common courtesy.
Problem I see in the Corporate world is that communication seems to be handed almost entirely by email. That's what some people do all day, just write emails. Apparently, you can get well paid doing so too.

Try to be the responsible for the production in a plant in another country with a different time zone and keep it running without email
20% to 30% of my day time goes in Email (coordinating things, asking for info, reading that info...)
aprox 40% of my time programming / debugging / solving issues
20% of my time in meeting (some regular basis, others on the need)
and the rest... getting though previous ToDos that were relegated due to higher prio things (with some jumps to CP like this one to give my brain a tiny rest between points)
M.D.V. 
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I will send out a thank you email when it is warranted. People need emails in the inbox, like they need another hole in the head. No bueno.

Politeness.
"Please send me version 1.0.b" / I send / "Thank you". -> I know he received and considered the e-mail.
"Please send me version 1.0.b" / I send / ... -> Did he receive it? Is he ok with what I sent? Did he even care if I sent him what he asked or not? (Hint: more often than not he didn't).
Besides if I send X to someone and he answers "thank you" he can't 6 months from now tell me "You didn't send me / I didn't receive it".
It's important, especially in asynchronous communication. E-mail is still unreliable by the way, SMTP is still the same and the spam filters or rules go bonker more often than not.
