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.

[-] affiliate@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

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

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)

I think you can do winget install Mozilla.Firefox?

Vs Chrome? Naw. Everyone's allowed their opinion, but those who prefer Edge usually haven't actually used modern Firefox, especially with the right extensions. I never install it without uBlock Origin and Consent-O-Matic...

I honestly can't remember a time where I preferred Chrome over Firefox.

Cool. Let's force it on everyone else then. Go competition!
