    Edge? The only people who use that are old boomers “because it came with the computer”.

      Edge or the slop? I’m not really a Windows guy.

        Edge. Got tired of Windows defaulting to it every time it opened a Microsoft site.

        I wish Bill Gates would publicly trip and fall on banana peels like Bezos does.

    I guess that’s one way to outdo Internet Explorer.

    Ok. It just looks the same to me other than the forced material design cues.

    At what point do we stop caling it late stage capitalism and start calling it post capitalism? This is going beyond a captive market, at this point they’re outright making products no one wants and forcing it on us anyway by removing the alternatives. If late stage capitalism was the offer of shit or nothing this is escalating to just shoving a tube down our throats.

    I’m very glad I’m using Vivaldi (which is a Chromium browser, but still)

    My use of Edge is pretty much only for opening PDFs.
