Microsoft Edge? a "major browser"?
Its still the default for the technologically illiterate
No disrespect to anyone but a metric fuckton of people have little to no tech knowledge and no desire to change that either.
i disrespect the fuck out of the second part of that.
I mean, I get it for some people but this is a case where, at least I think it depends. Like, I dont begrudge my old grandma for not getting computers... she barely handles her phone.
With that said, I do agree that at least some modicum of tech knowledge is simply advantageous for your own success in a world dominated by technology.
Like, Im on Linux and replace my own PC parts. I dont think Im particularly techadept but I know some of the very basics and how to troubleshoot. Im just aware that a lot of folks don’t.
My parents manage to use it regularly even though I put Firefox as their standard browser in everything. They will then complain about the ads on the internet.
Literally once a month this happens.
Counterpoint: there are things Edge does better than Chrome.
