Imagine using Edge when other browsers exist.

    I use it on my work PC and I have to admit that it's not that bad...

    Yeah, same.

    It's not terrible, but it feels like it's slowly becoming worse as they add new garbage. And especially if they start forcing a bunch of AI shit I'm out.

    But I think a lot of people brush it off outright without really using it. Or, because it's Lemmy, anything that's not linux = bad.

    Actually Edge prior to this was a fine browser. Like a lightweight chrome. It was actually just good enough to not really make you want to install a new browser unless it was your daily driver personal PC.
