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.

Who the FUCK uses Edge on Linux??

Me, but because I need chromium for work and refuse to use Chrome. Firefox for everyday browsing.

[-] entropicdrift@lemmy.sdf.org 16 points 1 year ago

But... you can just use Chromium on Linux

[-] scarilog@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Nooo just use degoogled chromium

Is there even a stable version for Linux? Last time I've checked it was still in beta

[-] affiliate@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago

i don’t think i’ve ever used a microsoft product that didn’t feel like it was still in beta

[-] finestnothing@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Honestly, has anyone been able to find ms paint bugs? It's extremely stable too, reliability is king

[-] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Closest thing I can think of would be back in the day when colour palettes were small enough that paint had colour blends in its palette, if you filled with one of those, it didn't treat that filled area as one colour so that you could fill it again with a different colour.

But I wouldn't even call that a bug so much as a lack of feature. And it was kinda satisfying to fill one of those blended colours and then alternatively fill with the two colours that made the blend and watch it slowly creep out to fill the entire space. Lol I didn't even realize I still had that memory in the archives.

There's a download link for .deb and .rpm on Microsoft's website, with no disclaimer that it's beta.

[-] aksdb@feddit.de 15 points 1 year ago

Used it for a while. One very nice feature is that when you use multiple profiles, you can specify in which of those external links open in. Every other browser opens them in the window that last had focus so I regularly have work related links open up in the private profile.

Also the performance was quite nice.

But since they continuously rub new services in my face with new versions, I ditched it again.

[-] people_are_cute@lemmy.sdf.org 11 points 1 year ago

Mozilla's "Multi-Account Containers" extension on Firefox does a much better job at the multiple profiles feature you've described.

[-] aksdb@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I miss the tab grouping from Chrome based browsers in Firefox.

And I think tab containers don't provide the separation I need to properly separate work from private.

[-] jbk@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago

You might be better off using a custom Firefox profile for that then. Not too well integrated UI-wise sadly though

[-] aksdb@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

That's essentially how this sub-thread started 😁

[-] MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

You can do that in Chrome too, if you have multiple chrome profiles right clicking on links give you the option to open it in a different profiles window

[-] aksdb@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

Yes, but with "external" I meant opening links from other apps like Slack.

[-] MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah that's what I mainly used it for. I would right click links on slack and make sure it would open on my work profile or not depending on the context of the link.

Although this could potentially have been when I used the web app rather than the installed app, so i may be misremembering

[-] aksdb@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

In the WebApp this would work. Across apps it's a different story, since they just invoke a system command to open the URL in the associated application. From there it's in the hands of that application, how to deal with it.

[-] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

It's like they want to drive away the experienced users who don't need their hands held and rarely need support to focus on the part of the market that will still find ways to break things no matter how much they dumb it down.

[-] kewjo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

One very nice feature is that when you use multiple profiles, you can specify in which of those external links open in.

is this similar to Firefox containers? dunno why mozzila makes it as a plugin and hasn't bundled it in yet as a standard feature, literally can't live without it.

[-] aksdb@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

Not quite. Let's say I have two profiles: "work" and "private". If I have both open at the same time, they are separate browser windows with different tabs, different settings and different extentions.

I can now specify that external links open in "work". If I now click on a link in Slack or in Thunderbird, they open up in the window with the "work" profile, even if the "private" window was the last active one.

[-] funkajunk@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I use it for work - it allows me to keep things separate.

EDIT

For those telling me to change what I am doing, thanks, but no thanks. I use this solution because it works best for me.

[-] meiti@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Use different user accounts. That provides you with very stronger isolation and separation of concerns, with the bonus that you won't be exposed to their crap.

[-] HellAwaits@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

How about you just let them use whatever works for them?

[-] nogrub@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

you can use a work sandbox in firefox to keep it seperate

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

Just installed Edge on Arch after a disastrous Teams call with Firefox and Chromium, figured it was worth trying MS' browser next time but I'm not holding my breath.

[-] TheActualDevil@sffa.community 2 points 1 year ago

Edge is just Chromium. When they retired IE they switched. It might still work better because it's the default supposedly built to work with their products so their tweaks should help. But it is Teams and they've been doing a lot more updates lately. Did you update to the new version of Teams they've been pushing? It's bad and it's performance is bad, so that can cause issues.

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

It's bad and it's performance is bad

🔫 Always has been

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

The Linux app was discontinued last year, I read that we're supposed to use the PWA now, has it changed?

[-] mcz@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Corporations which stepped in intune

[-] people_are_cute@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 1 year ago

On Windows it's visibly the most resource-efficient browser out there. Maybe it holds up on Linux as well?

[-] CoderKat@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Only thing I can think of is if you are developing a website or extension and need to make sure there isn't some subtle browser difference. Though since it uses the same engine as Chrome, that use case should be a lot more niche than it used to be.

[-] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

Heh reminds me when I was doing web development back in the day and had IE running on Linux. It actually made more sense to test compatibility with IE by running it through wine on Linux than actually doing it on Windows because I could have multiple versions of IE installed at the same time.

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

I use bing as default search on my qutebrowser

[-] WildeGreen@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 year ago

They have the ability to run two websites side by side in one tab. No other browser does that. It's insanely useful
