Ok, boomer.
I don’t have a problem with Edge itself. We use it at work and it’s fine. I have a problem with microsoft constantly trying to trick me into using it among all their other shitty practices.
My dad came to me in a panic “All of my passwords are gone!!!” turns out macroshaft kicked chrome off default he was using edge without knowing. It actually took me awhile to realize it was edge too because the UI is so similar. Edge does have a really big unmovable spam toolbar along the side so that was pretty much my only major tell.
The toolbar can be turned off with 1 click
just block me now then I don’t have any other personality traits
To be honest I’d still be on Windows if MS hadn’t screwed me out of the license I bought through the MS store and attached to my MS account. I do kinda miss the new Bing assistant in Edge, that was neat to screw around with for free while I was on that OS
There are .deb and .rpm versions of Edge for Linux. Doesn’t get mentioned on the main download site until you scroll below the Mac/iPhone/Android options.

You can use it on other browsers with a little bit of work, changing user agents and things like that.
Okay but hear me out, Linux.
Hi, do you have a moment to talk about Arch Linux? I got a pamphlet and reading material for you.
Yes, a 3000 page pamphlet
No no, all you’d ever get from an Arch user is single postit that says “got a question? RTFM!”
Source: I use Arch btw
It’s all in the Wiki
It’s ironic because you are actually more original/funny than that guy. All he does is complain about Windows
Did you know that using Windows makes your balls shrink?
Those bricks are laid incredibly poorly, look at all those gaps
Typical Windows app 🧌
AND at least 2 of them are already cracked!
In german we don’t say shitty brick wall, we say ‘Landhauscharme’ and I think it’s beautiful.
Ich hab das jetzt als Land Hausch Arme gelesen und war verwirrt
Dachte ich schon beim Schreiben. Hier wäre ein kleiner Bindestrich vielleicht nützlich gewesen.
British bricklayer.
When it comes to browsing the web and showing content and having good add-ons, edge does a good job.
But why does it need to constantly advertise itself and other microsoft things to me? It’s annoying when Firefox does this, but it feels like edge does it almost every time I open it.
Plus I believe you can turn it off in firefox
I use arch btw Edge sucks
Edge is a decent browser. Second best after Firefox.
The cool thing about browser choice is there are no “correct” answers – it’s personal preference.
So don’t let the fanboys get you down. You’re entitled to your opinion even if it is wrong.
I recently switched from brave too Firefox And I love it so far
But edge, especially the new chromium based one isn’t half bad and I believe it’s actually faster then chrome
And certainly a hell of a lot better then internet explorer
Edge is super lightweight and very handy for websites that don’t play well with Firefox and my suite of extentions.
What a surprise the browser made by the same dev as the OS, is optimized for the OS.
Since you asked, I recommend Fedora.
What about using Edge…on Linux…🤔
I can only get so hard
The one thing I cannot stand about Edge is that if you want to use it for some specific webapps, but still use another browser as the system default, it will always open links in Edge.
For example, I use Teams and Outlook for work. I have each of them as a PWA installed as a webapp. I used to have them via Edge, but use Chrome for everything else. But anytime I clicked on a link in an email or Teams message, it would open a new Edge window and ignore my system settings.
To be clear, I’m doing this on Ubuntu, and not Windows. So we’re not dealing with that anti-user choice crap that Microsoft does with Edge over and over.
I use arch btw…
Holy hell, what is that instance
Glorious master linux distribution. You should try it. Or install Gentoo.
.world really is the Reddit of lemmy smdh my damn head.
This is hilarious.
My husband runs our Lemmy instance, and he’s subscribed to the Linux community, which is one of the most active on Lemmy (I probably don’t need to tell you that.) I’m basically just here for memes and I ultimately blocked the Linux community because it was all over my feed. I’m a normie and I just don’t care about Linux whatsoever, not enough for every other post to be about it anyway.
I enjoy Linux memes.
But not when the only joke they can muster being “Other OS bad for [insert dumb false argument here]”
The templeOS jokes kill another piece of me everytime I read them
Yeah it’s like a person who likes squid pizza and attempts to insert their love for the pizza every sentence they utter.
Some of us just like a simple pineapple pizza. And we’re too deep into it you cannot change us without changing the very atoms that comprise our earthly bodies.
