Edit: Looks like you can opt-out of that "new look and feel" pretty easily under the appearance settings but still, whats with putting rounded corners everywhere?

Edit 2: "Explore the web with a softer, more friendly aesthetic featuring rounded corners [..] Designed to complement your operating system, whether on Windows 11, MacOS, or Linux." The fuck does that mean? Windows 11 fair enough but most Linux distros don't look like that at all.

Wha... Why are you using Edge?
I'm so confused

[–] [email protected] 99 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (6 children)

I mainly use Firefox but have Edge to test website with, can't really uninstall it anyway.

[–] [email protected] 91 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Alright. This guy's story checks out. Let'em through.

[–] [email protected] 40 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Damnit! Now I've oiled my pitchforks for nothing. Ah well... gues i'll be visiting the political subs again...

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Hey, I saw someone ask an innocent question about something they don't know in a post down the street. Wanna go make fun that guy?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Oompa loompa doompadideed

We're honna make fun of some guy down the steeet

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Get a load of this guy not oiling his pitchfork regularly any way.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Well, I managed to uninstall it fully through Safe Mode and regedit but that made the fingerprint reader stop working. (It’s my sister's laprop, okay? I use Mint on mine.)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It is possible to remove it, needs a bit of work and running scripts as admin to do it but you can figure out if you look it up. I can't remember how I did it and I don't use windows anymore but first page results should bring it up.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

not with that attitude you can't. (C'mon. You know you wanna convert to linux.)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why not just use Ungoogled Chromium for your tests? It's the same browser anyway, just without the spyware.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Because your tests might react differently in an environment with spyware. And rounded corners. These are called Edge cases.

Much to the chagrin of a large portion of lemmy users Edge is not actually a bad browser. If you're using a chromium based browser anyway there's really nothing worse about edge than the other options. Obviously not talking about Firefox here.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Exactly. It's my Chrome browser of choice. I use Firefox virtually all the time, but if I need somethiung that works in the cases where non-chromium does not, I use Edge. It's a fast, its already installed so no extra fuss, it has the best vertical tab implementation that really should be standard for every single browser.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

Would you say you use it in

edge cases?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

im in the same boat edge is pretty fire tho imo compared to chrome at least.

i havent used it in a bit tho coz of firefox but its a fine browser firefox being good doesn't make edge bad

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

The vertical tabs are why I keep it around.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Chagrin. When your step father Steve tells everyone in your school that you're quote: as smooth as a seals behind down there... much to your chagrin.
Chagrin.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I chose edge over chrome nowadays. But I'm still a firefox man. The AI help chat thingemejig of edge is also pretty okay.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Edge is really the best browser for Windows users with low end PCs.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

pretty much because like IE, when using Windows part of it runs in the background whether you like it or not.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

The experience in the enterprise as well as the management of it make sense for any company who are a m365 shop. Native seamless single sign on with corporate identities, along with syncing the browser make it a no brained for me to use for work. For personal stuff though I stick with Firefox.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

One browser to actually use and one without anything to test shit on

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It got way better in the past few years. I think everybody hates it, because the internet explorer was that slow. So it just stayed in our minds that the Microsoft browser sucked.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

It still sucks, but in a different way.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No. It sucks because it's Chromium.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Most people on fedi will complain about there not being enough browser diversity and then immediately start worshipping and putting Firefox on a pedistal and complaining if anyone uses anything else

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Show me in this doll where the Arch user hurt you. 😞

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Using firefox will create browser diversity

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I really don't get their take on FF use. Maybe they don't realize that virtually ALL the other browser options are Chromium based. Your only real choices are Chrome | Safari | Firefox

And Safari is only on apple devices. So for other devices its Chrome or Firefox. With Chrome having near market monopoly... so... yeah Firefox is diversity.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Real chads pirate Safari and run it on Arch. /s

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Hmm… that should be possible shouldn’t it. Ok, my wife’s rarely used Thinkpad is turning into a my first Arch machine.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Scratch that she doesn't want me screwing with her laptop, she said to put it on my desktop. TBF I have a habit, or rather an ADHD, of starting 'upgrades' to things and leaving them in a non-functioning state for a while before finally coming back to them and finishing.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, if you just want to get Safari running it's probably easier to do it alone rather than try to make a complete Chad battlestation.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

What chromium alternative would you suggest?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I have a few sites that do not work on FF. I have to use it sometimes.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

Got stuff at work (Microsoft services, for the record) that'll work in Edge or Chrome, but not entirely in Firefox (gee, wonder why)
