Firefox has Foxkeh so firefox is for me

You will take your spyware infused Chromium and you will like it.

[-] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 year ago

Chromium has spyware installed by default.

Microsoft at least removed most of Chromes trackers, while adding their own.

But I'd trust Microsoft a hell of a lot more than Google.

[-] Sheeple@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

If you're already using Windows, they track your shit anyway. So Edge it is.

If you're using Linux, obviously you wouldn't be using Edge.

[-] seaQueue@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

If you're using Linux, obviously you wouldn't be using Edge.

Says you, it's pretty good for streaming 1080p content sometimes. For a while it was the only way to get 1080p streams from Netflix on Linux so it does have limited utility.

Go back to reddit, Microsoft.

I'm confused, does this meme think it is a good browser? If so, where's the meme?

[-] Mac@mander.xyz 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The meme is incomplete.

The man asked the woman how she thinks she is perceived. She answers wrong multiple times and then he lets her know the reality. (I think—I've never seen it).
So in this version of the meme the man asks Edge how it thinks it's perceived and it answers incorrectly.

Edge is not good. It is, at best, ok. It constantly gets in your way with its invasive “features”. And the only parts of it that are good are the parts of it that are Chromium. Use any other better Chromium based browser if you want those.

[-] Fleur__@lemmy.world 38 points 1 year ago

Where is the rest of the meme

[-] mofongo@lemm.ee 36 points 1 year ago

Microsofts shenanigans with forcing you to use their browser is just ridiculous. They do allow you to switch to another browser but make it as annoying as possible and they constantly try to annoy you into switching again. I mean they own the whole os. They could literally just force you to use the browser and I bet nobody would care for like more than a month because windows is like the only feasible choice as an operating system for a lot of people.

Is this a compliment to Google? Edge is just chromium with few eye candies, custom settings and original tracking system replaced by Microsoft tracking system.

We know it is a good browser, Google engineers are in general good engineers

[-] Siegfried@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Chrome is Google, and it is based on chromium, an open source project

[-] kay@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Android is also open source and developed by Google... these aren't mutually exclusive

If you want chromium without Google get 'ungoogled chromium'

I used to love it, but now they keep adding annoying things like Bing chat, Bing chilling, Bing bros

It's annoying having to find these hidden ass settings and disable it. So I just use firefox

[-] LollerCorleone@kbin.social 15 points 1 year ago

Since when did Edge become a good browser?

[-] Rakonat@lemmy.world 25 points 1 year ago

It's not, that's the joke.

[-] LollerCorleone@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I get that now.

[-] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 year ago

It became decent after switching to Chromium.

It is basically Chrome with a Microsoft skin.

Whether or not you like Chrome is up to you, but it is still the biggest browser to date.

[-] Fickle_Ferret@lemmy.ml 15 points 1 year ago

Flithy, flithy lies

[-] Timecircleline@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 year ago

I think the joke is most people just use edge to download their actual preferred browser.

Edge is good, yeah, but there are way better alternatives out there (privacy speaking). The closest ones being Vivaldi (in terms of features) and Floorp (Firefox fork).

I use Firefox because it came with Ubuntu and because I haven't had any issues with it, but I would've used Vivaldi if it weren't the case.

[-] UsernameIsTooLon@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Vivaldi mobile is goated for having a bottom bar + tabs.

Vivaldi desktop feels a bit clunky to me, I think edge beats it out in terms of performance and being more lightweight.

[-] Smorty 2 points 1 year ago

Me when praising Microsoft and all the other gigant companies for doing their best Fr tho, if you use it that's fine. Most people here just like Foss (free and open source software), so that's why they're against it probably. I'm one of them. Use Firefox ig.
