MODERATORS
 
  • A Chrome extension called “Microsoft to Microslop” that renames Microsoft references in browsers as a protest against the company’s aggressive AI integration.
  • The extension reflects widespread user frustration with Microsoft’s Copilot AI, which faces extremely low adoption rates and growing privacy concerns among Windows users.
  • Many users actively seek ways to remove AI features from Windows, highlighting significant backlash against Microsoft’s AI strategy despite CEO dismissals of complaints.

I don't like green Chrome so I'll switch to rainbow Chrome and add an extension.

Microslop should now start referring to themselves as "Micro$oft" to bypass this extension.

No! Just stand by yourself and your believes and use your voice to tell you don't want AI and buggy written AI code. Also they know if you don't use their slop because they track everything you do. If they force you to use it, vote with your wallet and stop giving them money, go try something else.

Use O&O ShutUp to delete Copilot if you're on Windows.
