It’s never accidental…
You click a link in an MS app and it launches Edge regardless of the default browser setting, then plays it off as a “feature”.
Every. Fucking. Time.
Windows: “Oh you want to open a PDF? You must want to use an MS Web Browser.”
User: “No Thank you Windows, please use app X”
Windows: “I got you fam, app X for PDFs from now on”
…later…
Windows: “Oh you want to open a PDF? You must want to use an MS Web Browser.”
You want to open a .R script that you wrote for R using R-studio . . .
I love this meme but have no proper nerds in my life that would understand and appreciate it.
That’s why we hang out on Lemmy
Like all MS products today, it’s actually really good after wasting an hour unchecking all the hidden options that make it unbearable spyware.
Ok I’m only going to say one nice thing about edge, the PDF editing functionality is on par with Adobe and it’s free.
Haters gonna hate. But I’ve been using Edge for a year now as my main browser and I prefer it over Google’s browser. Yes, it was built on the Chromium open-source project. But the end result is what I was after. Something that wasn’t just Google’s ‘X.’ Industry competition is very much needed.
Everyone gets to have their preference. What’s not ok is MS trying to force it on people who don’t want it.
completely agree. i think a lot of people (myself included) will probably never give edge a fair chance because of how insidious and annoying microsoft has been about trying to get people to use it. i don’t really hate edge as a browser (i’ve never really tried it), but i do hate the feeling of the browser being forced upon me
You can’t say that on lemmy man it’s illegal.
If that’s illegal, I’m sure saying that I don’t use Linux nor have I ever used Linux, to be highly illegal.
but then you wouldn’t know that Edge runs perfectly well on Linux too lol I use Edge every day on Linux without issue but only for work related stuff
I did a fresh install of windows 11 and I opened edge the first time only to crash after a second because it couldn’t handle the fact that I wasn’t signed into a Microsoft account.
It crashed immediately every successive attempt to open it.
After the 15th try (mostly for my own amusement) I downloaded Firefox from the windows store so that there’d be a functional browser in the VM I had just set up for someone to use to run essentially the last scamware app he still needs for hopefully not much longer (cough intuit cough)
Cool. Let’s force it on everyone else then. Go competition!
I used Edge but stopped once they began adding ads (the only way to disable them are via flags and that doesn’t even disable all)
Then around this year it began to automatically open after updating so I blocked the executable from running via regedit
And then begins the gruelling quest of navigating all the “how many ways can we ask how much we can spy on you and change settings so this happens more often, so we can track you more, ooh look here, new features! (They’re just fronts for more tracking)” pop-ups which seem never ending.
HOLY AI UPSCALE WITH CLARITY, BATMAN!!
I can hear this meme…
Since Shai Halud swallowed up Rita and spit her out (as evidenced by this 1000% true photo of her crawling out of a sand worm) does she get the same powers as Ragnar has in that new Dune show?
Because if she does, the Power Rangers are turbo fucked.
Fun that you say “turbo fucked” when Turbo was 1.- the first season without Rita in a villain role and 2.- the first seasons where the Rangers canonically lost.
If you’re on Windows then it’s the best Chromium browser available
That’s like the best-tasting pile of human excrement.
So are the other browsers Power Rangers?
Well at least Chrome is kinda multicolor…
Firefox tho… I can’t recall the last season that had a mammal ranger (it’s usually dinosaurs or vehicles), let alone an orange Ranger.
It’s one of the “weird rangers”, like the white, green, or purple ranger.
There’s a purple ranger?
Bulk is the purple ranger in the comics.

edge works great for Teams Web. Runs better than the pile of shit Teams native runs as.
and that’s all I’ll use it for.
