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 forgot about the dino game. I tried it. I got a score of 666. Preserving the score.
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
This is the way
I’ve used Edge since day 1 and it’s just like chrome, but it eats less RAM ob windows…
Still worse than asking people directly tho
Chrome: when a web app I somehow must use supports only Chrome.
The meme was designed in LibreOffice. It worked surprisingly well. Only open source software was used for the creation of this meme.
Chrome existed when you were 10, that makes me feel old. 😂
Well, not exactly 10. Was born in 1999. Think I was maybe 14 or 15 when I first played it. Still feels like a long time has passed. Time flies when you’re enjoying life.
When I was 10 Mosaic didn’t even exist yet.
Congratulations?
LibreOffice Draw is genuinely quite good for this sort of thing. I’ve used it before to design a rough mockup of a webpage.
Here we go.
I use edge exclusively on Windows and have zero issues
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.
If it works for you, great!
Edge’s baked in coupon code finder is incredible.
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.
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.
In no way to you have to enable that you know. Unlike edge it doesn’t default to on for monetization
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.
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.
They haven’t forked it though. They’re actively contributing to Chromium so Chrome users benefit as well.
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.
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.
I do the same.
Chrome for home and Edge for work.
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.
There are times when I want to use the Bing AI, so I’ll pop open Edge, but the Microsoft home screen is so terrible.
I use edge at work since it’s here and my pdfs auto open on it. It’s not that bad. I like how you can group tabs, makes things easier when doing research.
LibreWolf is alright too. A lot of out of the box security settings most people want but I found it just as easy and a little more secure to use the hardened firefox profile settings and have UBlock Origin block any javascript and 3rd party apps. It’s a pain to manually configure each website but at least when I click a sketchy link I can breath just a little bit easier knowing some of the most common deployment methods were turned off by default.
Librewolf is alright
Librewolf is absolutely goated, fantastic project
Clown world. I use Microsoft spyware to install Google spyware instead. I am an intellectual
Chrome is the “One of my fuck ton of Firefox addons broke this site but I don’t want to waste time figuring out what one” browser.
Tbh id just use ungoogled chromium for this, having the “pros” of chrome without the spying and spook
Lol same. I also use it for time critical stuff where you don’t want to risk a site breaking, like when trying to get tickets for good seats on a concert when sale opens.
Interestingly, a lotta sites that involve banking seem to make Firefox choke.
This is why profiles are so useful. You can use one when the other breaks. I’ve got about 7 profiles each perfectly tuned to a specific niche.
Waterfox most of the time, Vivaldi for when I can’t be bothered to whitelist individual scripts.
I use edge whenever sites decide they hate ff
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!
