Edit: Looks like you can opt-out of that “new look and feel” pretty easily under the appearance settings but still, whats with putting rounded corners everywhere?
Edit 2: “Explore the web with a softer, more friendly aesthetic featuring rounded corners […] Designed to complement your operating system, whether on Windows 11, MacOS, or Linux.” The fuck does that mean? Windows 11 fair enough but most Linux distros don’t look like that at all.
Wha… Why are you using Edge?
I’m so confused
I mainly use Firefox but have Edge to test website with, can’t really uninstall it anyway.
Alright. This guy’s story checks out. Let’em through.
Damnit! Now I’ve oiled my pitchforks for nothing. Ah well… gues i’ll be visiting the political subs again…
Hey, I saw someone ask an innocent question about something they don’t know in a post down the street. Wanna go make fun that guy?
Oompa loompa doompadideed
We’re honna make fun of some guy down the steeet
Get a load of this guy not oiling his pitchfork regularly any way.
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.
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.)
not with that attitude you can’t. (C’mon. You know you wanna convert to linux.)
Why not just use Ungoogled Chromium for your tests? It’s the same browser anyway, just without the spyware.
You can…
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.
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?
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
The vertical tabs are why I keep it around.
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 chose edge over chrome nowadays. But I’m still a firefox man. The AI help chat thingemejig of edge is also pretty okay.
Edge is really the best browser for Windows users with low end PCs.
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.
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.
It still sucks, but in a different way.
No. It sucks because it’s Chromium.
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
I really don’t get their take on FF use. Maybe they don’t realize that virtually ALL the other browser options are Chromium based. Your only real choices are Chrome | Safari | Firefox
And Safari is only on apple devices. So for other devices its Chrome or Firefox. With Chrome having near market monopoly… so… yeah Firefox is diversity.
Real chads pirate Safari and run it on Arch. /s
Hmm… that should be possible shouldn’t it. Ok, my wife’s rarely used Thinkpad is turning into a my first Arch machine.
Scratch that she doesn’t want me screwing with her laptop, she said to put it on my desktop. TBF I have a habit, or rather an ADHD, of starting ‘upgrades’ to things and leaving them in a non-functioning state for a while before finally coming back to them and finishing.
Yeah, if you just want to get Safari running it’s probably easier to do it alone rather than try to make a complete Chad battlestation.
What chromium alternative would you suggest?
I have a few sites that do not work on FF. I have to use it sometimes.
One browser to actually use and one without anything to test shit on
Edge is pretty good. Firefox has too much jank. Ublock still works fine so no reason to switch.
I upvote you to counter at least one downvote because you have an opinion.
I don’t understand what you mean by jank, and uBlock origin is objectively better on Firefox.

Every time I try to use Firefox I run into a ton of bugs and small annoyances. For example I remember fullscreen often wouldn’t work properly, leaving the taskbar on screen. And many other small things that I can’t recall right now. It just doesn’t feel polished compared to Edge.
And ublock has reliably blocked all ads since forever now, which is all I need it to do.
Odd, I rarely have any problems and I use a beta version.
