I know you can play the game at chrome://dino, but it doesn’t evoke the same nostalgic feeling of a 10yr old me turning on aeroplane mode and spamming space bar to try and beat my brother’s high score. Good memories.
Edge is actually better than Chrome. Don’t @ me. I still prefer Firefox to both and always have.
I agree. I use Firefox on my personal computer (running Gentoo) and use only Edge on my business notebook.
Edge was better before, now MS is already adding intrusive info screens and aggressive configurations…
My brother in christ, just run
winget install firefoxin command prompt and be done. Fuck chrome and edge.Chrome is the “One of my fuck ton of Firefox addons broke this site but I don’t want to waste time figuring out what one” browser.
Edge has replaced Chrome for me actually. If any time Firefox doesn’t work for me, or the website just runs better on Chrome, I use Edge. It’s chromium, so it does everything Chrome can do, plus a few features like PDF viewing, collections, and lower resource usage than Chrome (maybe).
And, the hope is any Data Collection algorithms in it have been replaced by Microsoft. (Maybe with their own, but at least they don’t run an ad network)
They do. https://ads.microsoft.com/
Sorry; you’re correct, I shouldn’t have said that.
Still, that ad network generally has far less influence and presence than Google’s, and I don’t think there’s a huge effort to make it grow to their size.
I mean if you use windows it’s baked right into the OS already, I still just prefer Firefox though, I liked the profiles in chrome especially made it easy to switch accounts with its own bookmarks but I got used to living without that
Here we go.
I use edge exclusively on Windows and have zero issues
It’s just Chromium in disguise anyway.
Are you happy with it? If so, that’s all that matters.
I wouldn’t be very happy if my browser injected ads into webpages.
It does that? I use Edge with ublock origin and have zero issues.
uBlock origin might be able to block Edge’s embedded ads, but yes, Edge does that. For example, if you go to the page to download Google Chrome, a banner ad covers the top half of your screen that advertises Edge’s features.
Even if uBlock fixes this, I don’t know why anyone would want to use a browser that does this in the first place when better Chromium based browsers exist, especially Brave. (I prefer Firefox, but I understand the need to use Chromium instead of Gecko as webpages are generally slightly more reliable).
Google search does the same thing of you search for mozilla firefox… lol
Imagine using Google to search for stuff
I’m very glad it works for you. Edge is a perfectly fine browser ever since they ditched their engine and copied Google’s Chrome with a coat of paint and a couple extensions baked in.
To be frank though, if Edge forking Chromium is the best the tech titan Microsoft can do, I’m genuinely disappointed in them, and I’d rather just use Chromium.
I think it was a sensible decision to drop their own engine as nobody liked it anyway. Might as well go with a proven one and use your resources on stuff your customers want you to focus on. Since Nadella took over, Microsoft has been very well managed imo and they made a lot of right moves, like their move into cloud computing, embracing open source, integrating linux subsystem on windows, etc…
Their choice to ditch their IE/edge engine is a symptom of these better managerial choices.
@StewartGilligan I use
choco install firefoxhow do you install choco?
You can install it using powershell, you just need to memorize the script!
Oh ok so just a simple powershell command:
Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol -bor 3072; iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://community.chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))Totally easy to remember
Edge is fucking FANTASTIC. You all got a big case of copium.
