given what "edge" means among the teens these days, microsoft really should go back to the old browser name.....microsoft goon
Microsoft should replace "content sharing" with their original idea from the Zune... Squirting.
I don't get what was wrong with the name of Internet Explorer.
They don't want you exploring anymore. Exploration would take you away from their profitable walled garden.
I think we should go back to Netscape.
You know, like Landscape or Manscape, this is Netscape, where it automatically trims out all the AI, Trackers and Ads.
I mean, I use SeaMonkey still, and that's the direct descendant of Netscape Communicator. So at least some of us are close.
Marketing sucks, IE was forever tainted. Like now, even if Copilot ran entirely on solar power and cured cancer, solved all hardest math problems, somehow achieved world peace and solved hunger, etc, people would still hate it.
