You’re right, Microsoft. I should get Firefox instead
Hidden meaning.Trick microsoft doesnt want you to know
Changing from Edge to Chrome is like changing from Coke to Pepsi for health reasons.
More like changing from Coke to Coke
I feel it’s more like changing from Coke Classic to New Coke. It’s kinda familiar, but leaves a bad taste in your mouth.
I find edge uses less resources of my computer, I can have it open while on youtube while I game but I can’t do that with chrome.
y knot Firefox?
ye when’s the day ppl start making fun of chrome too for all the crap they’re pulling
That day is now. You people literally never shut the fuck up about Chrome and you’re acting like nobody’s talking about it lol
The only reason I have Chrome installed is because corp IT installed it for me and won’t let me uninstall it. Meanwhile, I can uninstall Firefox with no issues.
Also, if I go too long without opening Chrome, I get a scary email telling me Chrome is out of date and I need to update it.
And here we see a guy talking about Chrome like I said.
Yup chromes shite
Like, ages ago? Google has been called out on their shady shit tons of times, it just doesn’t have much of an effect because Chrome isn’t as objectively crap as IE was. It works and it’s familiar, for most people that’s all that really matters. They have “NotHiNg to HidE” after all.

If you were reading the comment I’m replying to and thinking to yourself “well, if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear”, let me ask you something.
When you go to the bathroom, do you close the door?
Do you think we should have security cameras in every public bathroom stall watching every man, woman, and child who does their business just to make sure nobody’s doing drugs in there? (Criminalization of addiction is an entirely separate issue, but you get the point.)
No? You’re worried about perverts watching the security tape?
Now you understand why we want online privacy.
Firefox better
We started when chrome was released and haven’t stopped.
My new job keeps telling me in order to correctly use their website, I need to use edge or chrome.
So far I haven’t had any issues except them constantly reminding me in emails.
This makes me wonder what edge and chrome are giving them behind the scenes that Firefox doesn’t.
No part of my job has been impacted, but they’re so insistent.
I’m not in IT, but my assumption has always been that someone on the IT side is desperate to keep things simple and is worried about double-checking everything in more than one browser. Or maybe they just don’t want help desk calls from tech-illiterate employees who somehow managed to log in from Netscape.
netscape
There’s a name I haven’t heard since, ohhh… Before my nephew was born.
I usually assume that’s the case whenever a company says “this browser on a desktop is preferred” but they send me daily personalized emails about it and trying to reinforce “it’s very important that you do it this way” that makes me feel like it’s something else
If I’m making extra work because forms don’t work right or something, they’re not telling me that. I still wouldn’t download the browsers, but I’d be more empathetic about it (for the guy who has to fix the problems)
I’ll give you 3 more AIs please don’t go.
Throw an image of Michael Scott on the NOOOO button and this may actually sell me
No disassemble chat gpt edge alive!
Ah yes. The Michael Scott method.
I read this in a glados voice And it makes it sooo much better.
I’ve never used chrome, but I’d go back to a microsoft browser before I used it. I’ve avoided everything google for over a decade.
