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.
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
On desktop it’s mainly Firefox, on mobile it’s mainly the stock Samsung browser.
But I’ve started using Edge a bit more on mobile lately since I discovered its reading mode, which makes for a very clean readable format to read articles.
Oh man, you need to get on the Firefox for Android train. You can install uBlock Origin to block ads, and there’s some other handy extensions as well. It also has reading mode and works really well, you’ll see an icon that looks like a piece of paper on the right side of the address bar. You can also sync your bookmarks if you have a Firefox account, if that matters to you.
I just got a minisforum UM790 which comes with windows. So until I get my new SSD I’m checking out Windows 11. One thing I was happy about was that I could create a local account with no issue. No Winget without an internet account so I’m using chocolatey like I did long ago.
It is just Chromium and the hate most likely comes from it being made by Microsoft which is completely stupid because it’s not like Google is any better. In fact, I would say they are worse that Microsoft since their business is entirely reliant on selling user data. Microsoft at least has other avenues of income allowing them to not completely relying on selling your data to the highest bidder. Let me be clear on this, I am aware that they all sell data because that is the business they are in.
Also, Edge preforms better and does not phone home to google like other Chromium browser so…
I understand where you’re coming from (there is a reason I’m a Linux user) but Edge isn’t that bad of a browser. Obviously, browsers like Brave, Opera and Firefox are better but, at least from my experience, Chrome is significantly worse than Edge.
Interesting. In what ways is Chrome worse than Edge? I have to admit, I haven’t given Edge much of a chance. I primarily use Firefox, except for work things (we use Google apps at work) which I’ve been told to use Chrome for.
I can’t think of Edge without imagining it as some sort of unkillable Internet Explorer zombie that just won’t die. Is it actually better than Chrome?
On top of have more built-in privacy features, Edge is both faster and more stable than Chrome. For me, Chrome has almost always been very slow and unstable, while other Chromium based browsers like Edge, Brave, and Opera have never given me performance and stability issues. It’s actually kind of bizarre to me that most benchmark tests that I’ve seen online say that Chrome is the fastest when I’ve only every seen the exact opposite.
Also, the dev team that works on Edge is not actually directly associated with Microsoft. This is the reason why Edge isn’t exclusive to Windows. The only reason people don’t give it a chance is because they, like you, just automatically assume it’s just a reskinned IE.
I do have to say I don’t know too much about differences because once I tested Edge i simply ditched chrome from the get go and never felt need to return to it. Shit chrome does Edge does too and sometimes even better, so yeah.
Also, Edge doesn’t have really anything in connection to IE.

Been using Firefox more once I found out I could have tweaked extensions to mimic Edge’s vertical tabs
Though I still have Edge for YouTube uploads, for some reason uploading on Firefox is slow
Edge is based on Chromium that’s why.

Thanks, I’ll check it out.
In terms of blocking ads, I run Adguard (lifetime sub), which blocks ads system wide - even in apps.
Synced bookmarks could be good though.
This is the way
Google was 0 years old when I was ten.
But Linux comes with Firefox usually.
Edge is actually better than Chrome. Don’t @ me. I still prefer Firefox to both and always have.
Use Chocolatey and cut out the middleman :D

Lmao wtf?
You need to log into the windows store to use it.
I have to use it at work and it’s fine. It’s just chromium. I don’t get the hate. I do get the hate against internet explorer though.
Edge UI is shit tbh
Yeah too chonky for me to use it, I want as much space of the window to be taken by the website as much as possible
Edge probably has the smallest “chrome” of the lot once you enable vertical tabs and merge the address bar into the title bar.

I prefer Vivaldi.
Edge is fine for the most part. I prefer FireFox on my personal devices but Edge does the job for Enterprise pretty well.
When there’s no internet I head into my file explorer and open up games that I installed a while ago but never played.
Anyone remember the spy hunter car game built into MS excel 2000? Shit was the goat.
I will always find it funny that people use Edge to download Chrome because they are essentially using Chrome to download a worse version of Chrome.
I keep finding less and less ms products that are even palatable…

Fair, I just continue to loath ms products more and more. If it wasn’t for works outlook I’d steer clear.
jokes on you, firefox came pre-installed on my OS 😎
Edge is fucking FANTASTIC. You all got a big case of copium.
