And now people absolutely distrust and detest Chrome, Firefox is having an identity crisis on its hands, Edge is pretty much dead.

Browsers have gotten interestingly bad.

Edge is pretty much dead.

I honestly don't know why. If you are a Windows user and don't care about privacy, you may just as well stick with Edge. As a Chromium web browser by a megacorp, it's in no way worse than Chrome.

Honestly, not going with chrome means only one massive corp is stealing your data, not two.

I mean, edge is a viable option for enterprise. Works with gpos, etc. So easy to roll out and lockdown there.

I still think it's garbage like every chromium browser but that's its big sell.

If company is gonna lock downs extensions and force SSO on us, making Firefox non-viable (not that I'm allowed to install it anyway)... Fuck it edge we go, they have a Microsoft SSO stack anyway, it's not like Microsoft isn't tracking what I'm doing already lmao.

What "people" are you referring to? Because Chrome is the most popular browser, by a landslide.

Look beyond your landslide

Yes, I guess if you ignore Chrome, everyone hates Chrome...?
