Much to the chagrin of a large portion of lemmy users Edge is not actually a bad browser. If you’re using a chromium based browser anyway there’s really nothing worse about edge than the other options. Obviously not talking about Firefox here.
Comment on Updated Edge and it now seems to put a frame with rounded corners around every website

Wha… Why are you using Edge?
I’m so confused

Carighan@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Exactly. It’s my Chrome browser of choice. I use Firefox virtually all the time, but if I need somethiung that works in the cases where non-chromium does not, I use Edge. It’s a fast, its already installed so no extra fuss, it has the best vertical tab implementation that really should be standard for every single browser.

Would you say you use it in
edge cases?
sock@lemmy.world 9 months ago
im in the same boat edge is pretty fire tho imo compared to chrome at least.
i havent used it in a bit tho coz of firefox but its a fine browser firefox being good doesn’t make edge bad
evatronic@lemm.ee 9 months ago
The vertical tabs are why I keep it around.
abbadon420@lemm.ee 9 months ago
I chose edge over chrome nowadays. But I’m still a firefox man. The AI help chat thingemejig of edge is also pretty okay.

Chagrin. When your step father Steve tells everyone in your school that you’re quote: as smooth as a seals behind down there… much to your chagrin.
Chagrin.

I upvote you to counter at least one downvote because you have an opinion.
lud@lemm.ee 9 months ago
I don’t understand what you mean by jank, but uBlock origin is objectively better on Firefox.

Odd, I rarely have any problems and I use a beta version.

Edge is really the best browser for Windows users with low end PCs.
squiblet@kbin.social 9 months ago
pretty much because like IE, when using Windows part of it runs in the background whether you like it or not.

The experience in the enterprise as well as the management of it make sense for any company who are a m365 shop. Native seamless single sign on with corporate identities, along with syncing the browser make it a no brained for me to use for work. For personal stuff though I stick with Firefox.
TheFriendlyDickhead@lemm.ee 9 months ago
It got way better in the past few years. I think everybody hates it, because the internet explorer was that slow. So it just stayed in our minds that the Microsoft browser sucked.
3laws@lemmy.world 9 months ago
No. It sucks because it’s Chromium.
soulfirethewolf@lemdro.id 9 months ago
Most people on fedi will complain about there not being enough browser diversity and then immediately start worshipping and putting Firefox on a pedistal and complaining if anyone uses anything else

Show me in this doll where the Arch user hurt you. 😞

Using firefox will create browser diversity

What chromium alternative would you suggest?
TWeaK@lemm.ee 9 months ago
It still sucks, but in a different way.
Whisp@kbin.social 9 months ago
You get free credits for Dall-e for using edge (or maybe you just need to be signed into a msoft account 🤔)
Also the bing AI chat is pretty good.
Not my daily browser, but those are two reasons.

One browser to actually use and one without anything to test shit on
luciferofastora@lemmy.zip 8 months ago
Got stuff at work (Microsoft services, for the record) that’ll work in Edge or Chrome, but not entirely in Firefox (gee, wonder why)
FireWire400@lemmy.world 9 months ago
I mainly use Firefox but have Edge to test website with, can’t really uninstall it anyway
WarmSoda@lemm.ee 9 months ago
Alright. This guy’s story checks out. Let’em though.
abbadon420@lemm.ee 9 months ago
Damnit! Now I’ve oiled my pitchforks for nothing. Ah well… gues i’ll visit the political subs again…
WarmSoda@lemm.ee 9 months ago
Hey, I saw someone ask an innocent question about something they don’t know about in a post down the street. Wanna go make fun that guy?
QuinceDaPence@kbin.social 9 months ago
Get a load of this guy not oiling his pitchfork regularly any way.
Psythik@lemm.ee 9 months ago
Why not just use Ungoogled Chromium for your tests? It’s the same browser anyway, just without the spyware.
lars@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Because your tests might react differently in an environment with spyware. And rounded corners.
Psythik@lemm.ee 9 months ago
LMFAO 💯

It is possible to remove it, needs a bit of work and running scripts as admin to do it but you can figure out if you look it up. I can’t remember how I did it and I don’t use windows anymore but first page results should bring it up.
ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.de 9 months ago
Well, I managed to uninstall it fully through Safe Mode and regedit but that made the fingerprint reader stop working. (It’s my sister’s laprop, okay? I use Mint on mine.)
