      I have to do billing on a government (California) website monthly and it will not run on anything but Chrome. It says so at sign in, and it really is true. It’s the shittiest website I’ve ever used.

      I feel dirty having it on my computer, and I get mad every time I open the browser.

        This is almost certainly artificialy restricted you can use a User-Agent Switcher to trick the site into thinking it’s Google (Not responsible for getting fired) sometimes just blocking JavaScript works, edge even has a compatibility mode to allow it

      Edge is Chrome(ium). Even if it wasn’t, it’s still… Microsoft lmao

    We don’t use that one around here anymore. wget and curl is what we use to download a browser.

      Imo it was for while after it was released, and even for awhile after it switched to chromium, but it got bloated with extra features really quick over the last few years. Weird sidebars, copilot, coupon-enterring stuff, etc. Granted a lot of that can be disabled, but still, the only new feature I like so far is tab groups. I try to use Firefox as much as I can but use edge from time to time when the website I need insists on a chromium browser or has issues in Firefox.

      It’s definitively not lightweight.

      It should be as solid as a slightly old version of Chrome.

      Yes, hating on edge is just a meme. I use Firefox as my primary, but I’ll use edge as a backup before chrome.
