Pretty terrible, yes, but with all the bullshit Google is pulling with Chrome, like the Web Integrity stuff, I don’t really mind. It’s assholes vs assholes.
No need to open a web browser to install another one on Windows 10 and 11.
All one has to do is open a terminal, type winget install Mozilla.Firefox and hit Enter. ;)
Pro tip: To update all software on a Windows computer you can type winget upgrade --all and hit Enter (especially useful for computers from family or friends with LibreOffice or Java versions from the stone age …).
This is why I’ll never use Windows, it’s just too complicated for the average person. Imagine having to enter commands into the command line just to upgrade your computer, that’s way beyond most people.
I’d rather just stick with Mint with its GUI and automatic updates 😉
It used to be when the US had a bit of market regulation still left. Now these super corps just lough their way to the bank while paying fines that are already included in the project. The US lost the fight against their corporations and people are suffering.
Basically every post like this I’ve seen on Lemmy has been shit similar to this lol. It’s too easy to discredit, I don’t understand how people think it’s a useful argument to make.
There was one about 3/4 of a news article being covered by ads. Which is true until you start scrolling, the top ad disappears because it was just in the header.
Edge is Chrome, it’s built in Chromium. MS then adds on top of that to make it work (well) with their various products and platforms. If you run a corporate IT environment of any size, Edge is very good.
Is there even any advantage of using Chrome instead of Edge in 2023? They’re basically the same since both use Chromium and are ridden with trackers and telemetry
In the end the big tech corpos are circle jerking our data anyways unless you go 100% tech free and even then I wouldn’t be surprised if they set-up a profile of you from phones in your proximity.
This is why I search for conflicting interests on different browsers. Have fun figuring out whether I’m actually a Lakers or Celtics fan, Google and Microsoft!
They have to think I have dissociative identity disorder cause every new account I set up I express a different (or entirely new) part of my personality more strongly 😎👍

Yeah, we just let them fight like monkeys. Because what chrome does i double down on never using chrome ( or chromium based ) browsers.
Sure, but they are throwing shit in my yard.

That banner should be illegal.

Theres 1 popup on screen, its the cookies declaration that basically every website has and is completely unrelated to your search.

Why would anyone even use chrome? At least use brave that blocks all the scam ads. Better to use Firefox for sure
It’s an office computer. More or less it is a requirement.
I personally use firefox.
Brave sells your data.
You should see the fucking popups from Google when using edge. Sucks so bad.
If you think this is desperate you should try searching for Google through Bing.
is edge even that bad compared to chrome?
Edge is Chrome, it’s built in Chromium. MS then adds on top of that to make it work (well) with their various products and platforms. If you run a corporate IT environment of any size, Edge is very good.
Tbh if you use Google (or YouTube) for the first time the cookie consent popup also takes up the entire screen
Right. This post is disingenuous because most users hit that cookie consent prompt on the previous search screen.
Granted, the top begging prompt is ridiculous on its own.

The advantage is that you get to sell your data to Google instead of Microsoft, yay!

Both browsers are equally capable of doing their primary job, which is to download Firefox.
Sneaky aholes
Firefox masterrace🦊
To be fair, the cookie banner is unrelated and a one time thing.
