IE was like that for a while too. Never again.
Comment on Microsoft Edge could use a win

Y’all I dislike forced browser adoption as much as the next guy.
And I’ve been using Firefox for years and years and years now.
But, I’m forced to use edge for work. And, as a browser purely, none of the anti-trust baggage attached…
It’s really not too bad. A lot of things work just fine. And sometimes, if I’m having weird performance on a website on a personal device, loading the same URL in edge has resulted in improved/expected functionality of the website

Edge isn’t terrible at all. That’s why it’s such a risk to browser diversity and competition

I continue to use Firefox because I started using it a while ago and would rather not switch. I have to use Edge for school and it’s legitimately equal to Firefox in many ways. With Bing AI added, Edge blows Firefox out of the water.

The only reason Bing AI only works on Edge is because Bing AI specifically checks for edge. There was an extension that made it work on Firefox by simply lying about the browser, but Microsoft DMCA’d the developer.

Yeah the problem with memes like this is (according to market share) that there are people that switch from Edge to Chrome and think they are actually using a better product

Yes, when I have used Edge it’s been absolutely fine. Probably better than Chrome. I’d likely be quite happy to use it most of the time if it wasn’t for the fact that Microsoft are so intent on forcing me to do so.
I mostly use Vivaldi now which I think is by far the best of the Chromium-based browsers.
