Where does the meme imply the other browser is a Google product?
I have to do billing on a government (California) website monthly and it will not run on anything but Chrome. It says so at sign in, and it really is true. It’s the shittiest website I’ve ever used.
I feel dirty having it on my computer, and I get mad every time I open the browser.
This is almost certainly artificialy restricted you can use a User-Agent Switcher to trick the site into thinking it's Google (Not responsible for getting fired) sometimes just blocking JavaScript works, edge even has a compatibility mode to allow it
There's even a user-agent switcher for Firefox, and it makes most of the "Google Chrome only" webshites work instantly, if not then Edge still works.
Did you just say exactly what the parent comment said?
Echolalia, echolalia, echolalia...
In fact, you could use an user agent switcher extension to trick most of those chrome-only sites into working!
Did you just restate the parent comment exactly?
Edge is Chrome(ium). Even if it wasn't, it's still... Microsoft lmao
I just don't see a difference between the two anymore except Google is the current reigning Monopoly so it's morally worse.
Being the reigning monopoly isn't morally worse in a vacuum. The problem is all the skulduggery to get to that position, and to even worse, to keep it.
Do you want to give your data to Microsoft or Google?
Neither.
Open Edge? ewwwww.
winget install Mozilla.Firefox
Open windows to do
winget install Mozilla.Firefox?
Ewww.
sudo apt install firefox
Firefox is already the latest version
Where's the one-liner for UEFI shell to install arch?
I didn't a understand a word of what u said lol
Shhh!... Just keep walking and don't look at them, they'll ignore you if you're lucky.
They use arch Linux
It’s for the best. They use Arch.
winget? ewwww.
Open up the GUI package manager, look for Firefox, type in my password.
We don't use that one around here anymore. wget and curl is what we use to download a browser.
I use Firefox but isn't edge considered a solid lightweight browser now?
Imo it was for while after it was released, and even for awhile after it switched to chromium, but it got bloated with extra features really quick over the last few years. Weird sidebars, copilot, coupon-enterring stuff, etc. Granted a lot of that can be disabled, but still, the only new feature I like so far is tab groups. I try to use Firefox as much as I can but use edge from time to time when the website I need insists on a chromium browser or has issues in Firefox.
It's definitively not lightweight.
It should be as solid as a slightly old version of Chrome.
Yes, hating on edge is just a meme. I use Firefox as my primary, but I'll use edge as a backup before chrome.
No.
Pretty much, and personally it would be straight to Firefox or Zen
