I usually welcome my Microsoft overlords, to be honest. Using their tools and adhering to their best practices has usually been a safe bet.
The Edge team however has this "take no prisoners" and "![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) the user" attitude that is just pissy. Back when Edge started resetting file associations I remember reading an explanation how this was supposedly a "security measure" and "third-party vendors were not using the proper API". Bull ingshit.

I agree they are very aggressive and force you to use Edge which is bullshit and for that very reason I will not use it useless I absolutely have to.

Meh.
I've abandoned Chrome in favor of Edge, with the thinking being, the OS makers already have all my data. I'd rather have the browser I use send the same data to the same company, rather than having two companies spying on me (with one of them deriving its income almost entirely from ad revenue).
On a technical basis, I also no longer see how Chrome might still have the edge (pardon the pun).

Microsoft, Google, etc. knows what the majority is too afraid to admit. They want to control your data and view to and of the world. It's only going to get worse.

You could just stop supporting Windows and convert your software to run on Mac instead...

Soooooooo... n00b question. Is the goal of this game to find a word that rhymes with the first word based on the hint and letter count?
I've never tried it.

Nope, it's a single Cryptic Crossword Clue[^] and follows normal CCC rules: discombobulate, misdirect, and confuse the reader as much as possible! 
Punctuation is (normally) to be ignored (but not necessarily) as it's rarely helpful, and you'll find anagrams which have "keyword" indicators which include (but aren't limited to) "free", "about", and "could be" - there is a list here[^] which is nearly comprehensive.
For example, one episode of the TV show Drop the Dead Donkey had one character (Henry Davenport) trying to get the final clue on his crossword for a whole day: "gegs (9, 4)" the solution being "Scrambled eggs" ...

Thanks for that. This scares me, but it also makes me want to try it.

Oh, and the prize for solving it first is that you get to post it the next working day.

Nope. I can't get a seven letter answer here, but I don't see how one of the letters fits. I'm missing something so I'm getting nowhere.

He's not wrong - when you get it, it'll be obvious!

I got the dog to kick me just in case I missed. I was stuck on aimlessly being an anagram indicator.
