    Yeah, I’ll never use Chrome again. Google has always been shady, but this latest round of anti-features is unbelievable. I’m shocked there’s been no anti-trust suits related to what they’re doing with Chrome. Firefox is just a better browser with way more security options and extension support. That alone is enough for me to stick with it.

        Me, a foss contributer choosing edge because it’s a more convenient browser 🤷‍♂️

        Shit like this is why it’s 25 years later and we’re still joking about year of the Linux desktop.

        At some point just accept your objectives are mutually exclusive.

          More power to you! Edge isn’t bad, it just has bad affiliations. I’ll keep using Firefox though :^)

              Yup. I’m just saying that Edge is no worse than Chrome, Vivaldi, Opera, etc. that all use the same Google-controlled rendering engine.

              As a web dev, you do have to test against the Chromium engine, and in that context, Edge is not inherently worse than Chrome itself.

      Security? No. Privacy? Of course (assuming you don’t use vanilla FF). Is it much easier to escape the sandbox in Gecko than Chromium. Doesn’t matter what options they give you in the settings titled “Security”.

      lmao at the thought of mozilla suing microsoft. Basically no resources vs functionally infinite resources, they would stand no chance at all. I don’t know if you’ve noticed but our legal system is based on a variation of might vs right, we could call it rich vs bitch for convenience
