I know you can play the game at chrome://dino, but it doesn’t evoke the same nostalgic feeling of a 10yr old me turning on aeroplane mode and spamming space bar to try and beat my brother’s high score. Good memories.
I prefer Vivaldi.
F*ck edge and Windows all of my homies use Linux distro which Firefox is installed on them by default.
PSA:
Edge is also what you should use whenever you’re making a public presentation and need to open a browser.Why? Because you never use edge, therefore autocomplete is almost empty which means you can type:
- x
- p
- h
- r
With full confidence that NOTHING will appear that you will not want public.
Or you could use the ProfileManager present in both Firefox and Chromium for maximum carnage.
Now that’s some solid advice!
Using chrome rn …to read Lemmy. Because it’s ass on Firefox (android)

Been using Firefox more once I found out I could have tweaked extensions to mimic Edge’s vertical tabs
Though I still have Edge for YouTube uploads, for some reason uploading on Firefox is slow
Edge is based on Chromium that’s why.
Google was 0 years old when I was ten.
The one reason why I use Edge is for the great pdf editing and marking functions, especially in a university context.
But if there is any addon for firefox that rnables the same features as edge has, please lead me to it
I’m not sure what kind of features Edge has for PDFs, but FireFox has recently gotten an update to it’s PDF editor so you can edit them in FireFox. Might be worth checking out if that is truly the only reason.
This is the way
That’s so relatable. I can relate
Laughs in Arch with no preinstalled browser.
I use Arch btw.
The dinosaur game was out when you were ten? Jesus I feel old. When I was ten our home computer was still running Window 98.
I think the first computer I ever used ran Windows XP.
You lucked out, Windows XP was amazing. Huge upgrade from the versions before it. I still miss it sometimes lol.
Cries in 3.1.1 for workgroups.
Ohh, look at the fancy guy with mouse and stuff. DOS 5 for this dinosaur.
Here we go.
I use edge exclusively on Windows and have zero issues
Are you happy with it? If so, that’s all that matters.
I wouldn’t be very happy if my browser injected ads into webpages.
It does that? I use Edge with ublock origin and have zero issues.
uBlock origin might be able to block Edge’s embedded ads, but yes, Edge does that. For example, if you go to the page to download Google Chrome, a banner ad covers the top half of your screen that advertises Edge’s features.
Even if uBlock fixes this, I don’t know why anyone would want to use a browser that does this in the first place when better Chromium based browsers exist, especially Brave. (I prefer Firefox, but I understand the need to use Chromium instead of Gecko as webpages are generally slightly more reliable).
Google search does the same thing of you search for mozilla firefox… lol
Imagine using Google to search for stuff
True, but thats a search engine. They inject ads into every search, your web browser has no business doing that.
Brave and their crypto bs? I wouldn’t touch them.
Brave hate over their crypto is super overblown. I don’t, and obviously never would, use any of those features; so I just turn them off. There are a lot of annoying Firefox defaults as well, albeit not as garbage as Brave’s crypto.
I think its stupid to write off brave because of these optional features, when it is the best Chromium based browser available otherwise.
In no way to you have to enable that you know. Unlike edge it doesn’t default to on for monetization
I’m very glad it works for you. Edge is a perfectly fine browser ever since they ditched their engine and copied Google’s Chrome with a coat of paint and a couple extensions baked in.
To be frank though, if Edge forking Chromium is the best the tech titan Microsoft can do, I’m genuinely disappointed in them, and I’d rather just use Chromium.
I think it was a sensible decision to drop their own engine as nobody liked it anyway. Might as well go with a proven one and use your resources on stuff your customers want you to focus on. Since Nadella took over, Microsoft has been very well managed imo and they made a lot of right moves, like their move into cloud computing, embracing open source, integrating linux subsystem on windows, etc…
Their choice to ditch their IE/edge engine is a symptom of these better managerial choices.
nobody liked it anyway
Hi, I am nobody ;-; I am a dirty casual not caring for privacy too much ( more than every day Mark, quite a lot less tha you folk ) but I absolutely loved Spartan Edge. It was quick, low memory usage and I absolutely loved it. Dropped chrome for it. And…then it was killed ;-;
Edit: I feel a lot of hate towards Edge comes from people connecting Edge to IE which…couldn’t stray further from truth.
They haven’t forked it though. They’re actively contributing to Chromium so Chrome users benefit as well.
If it works for you, great!
Edge’s baked in coupon code finder is incredible.
It’s just Chromium in disguise anyway.
Indeed. It works fine. More efficient tham chrome.
Cool. Must be nice to have all your personal data snorted up like a cocaine addict hitting a line off a strippers butt. /s
Are you suggesting that the operating system doesn’t already do this?
Mine sure has hell doesn’t since the only thing that has ever been installed on this laptop is Linux. As soon as I got this I opened up the bios and yeeted Windows 11 right off this thing. Never even got to boot up once.
You really didn’t need to say all that… xd
Probably not, but if I got you to snort a little I’ll call it a success.
I am literally using windows anyway… what difference is the browser gonna do? All internet traffic travels through the OS before it hits the browser.
I know the linux comments are coming. But i cant use linux.
Honestly speaking, I’ve used Edge on Windows and have had no issues. It’s a decent browser not taking privacy into consideration. The only thing pissing me off is supporting the Chromium monopoly.
I use edge for my work accounts on my work computers. It’s nice to have passwords auto fill and everything integrated through my windows sign on, and be “air gapped” from my personal stuff. I find experience to be basically identical to my home surfing on other chromium-based browsers.
For real I don’t even mind Edge. I use it for work though and it’s been great for what I need it to do. Firefox is for everything else that’s not work related.
Usually use firefox for default browser, brave for PWAs, chrome for streaming to a Chromecast and edge at work for debugging because it connects nicely with Vs code
I use firefox/librewolf for everything and keep a chromium based browser around for those rare websites that don’t work well on Firefox (fuck you google drive, ik you’re doing it on purpose).
I don’t know about you but whenever I fiddle around
about:configin firefox, Google Drive stops working. Maybe make a new profile and don’t change much inabout:config? This got Google Drive working for me
