Edge is decent, it’s my main browser now
Decent browser? Absolutely. Privacy oriented enough to trust with my data? Lol, heck no!
Enjoy your spyware.
The thing that started sending all your pics to Microsoft for "enhancement"?
I turned this off but primarily use Edge for sfw browsing, and I don’t use any Microsoft OS to view NSFW content, only Linux.
No, its not your main browser. [tries to gaslight]
You fr?
In terms of usability? Yeah, edge is good, especially if you are a fan of vertical tabs. After all, it's just yet another chromium-based browser. In terms of privacy? Oh god no, given Microsoft's track record it's probably the worst browser out there in that regard.
Even if it was perfect and everyone should use it. The issue is that you can not remove (uninstall) it, which you should be able to do, especially for a browser.
You can even get Edge on Linux now. It's available as a *.deb and an *.rpm. 😬
I used edge for a while, but went back to Firefox after about decade of not using it. Love having extensions on mobile, makes browsing a lot better!
Well, it IS Chromium now, so not that shocking. I still use Firefox as my main, but for sites that don't work in Firefox, I used Edge as a backup, especially for Microsoft sites.
Why edge over Firefox?
