clearly, either ragebait or Microsoft rewards.
ew
Yeah, this is "tech" "savvy" people, not actual people who understand tech.
The current version of Edge is literally just Chrome with extra bells and whistles.
Yup. This is the meme of a kind of person who is βtech savvyβ as an affectation they use to adorn their personality. Itβs nothing more, with no deeper thought involved.
I just call myself a "guy on linux with a firefox fork" and nothing more to be honest.
I use Edge on Linux
Hello Satan.
Not OP, but I have been meaning to talk to my Ubuntu admin about Intune on his systems so we can use conditional access on them.
With how difficult it had been to get macs setup, I have a feeling Edge will be the only way it works.
So in enterprise situations....I'd say "Plausible".
Personally I mostly use Firefox on Linux, but Proxmox gui doesn't handle that so well...so for that I have an App-isized Ungoogled Chromium window.
Am an admin, funny thing about conditional access, we use various conditions but one is geolocation; we bar all logins outside of three countries relevant to our workers. We employed it mostly due to a continuous low-threat brute force campaign targeting a few exposed accounts that my data analysis had identified. In testing it out from Red Teamβs perspective I quickly realized that conditional access will indeed prevent a login outside of the whitelisted countries, but it will gladly let the attacker know that the reason the login failed was due to conditional access and not an incorrect username/password. So all Red Team has to do is brute force the password and then VPN over to our country of operation and theyβre in.
I use edge on Mac.
Me too, I tried using Firefox on Mac but for some reason its power consumption is insanely high.
I know this is the wrong place for this but I like edge.
if im using chromium, it's gonna be vivaldi
Can it set the bookmarks bar to only show up on the new tab page yet?
Tech savvy people like Duckduckgo, Duckduckgo uses Bing under the hood
I host my own search engine lol.
Yacy what you did there
i like edging
Something about Microsoft UI just feels so off for some reason. Material UI, Apple stuff all feels good to use but clicking on a button in Microsoft UI is just... bad.
It makes me think of Fisher Price toys.
yeah it does really feel plasticky in the worst way
I think because they try so hard to be edgy (eheh) and different from the others, by constantly trashing known tested paradigms, refusing to fix known problems, all whike trying to invent the "brand new thing" that nobody wants and never reallt works out.
Windows-only users would never know, but people who've either used a modern mac or linux computer will understand.
I have Linux on my gaming PC, a Windows laptop at work and regularly work on a Mac to test stuff. I literally don't see what you people love so much about the Mac UI. "Same but different", sure, but nothing groundbreaking.
Or windows users that have been around 20 plus years....
Really it is sad just how bad its all gone.
You forgot the panel where the tech savvy people wash their hands afterwards
What I find interesting is when typically non tech savvy people start using things like Brave.
Goes to show how shit the tech industry is
On my work computer I actually use Edge over Chrome since it has vertical tabs by default.
Edges vertical tabs are actually one of the best implementations. Zen is close but it can be unstable, especially if you start moving tabs out of the existing window, it fucks up essentials.
In my experience non-techy people just don't know what Edge and Bing are.

I love edge...

I'm tech savvy, and I dislike Firefox.
Edge is just Chromium now (so worth hating still, but for different reason), and Bing has its uses. Hell, isnβt DuckDuckGo basically Bing?
Yup. Never understood the Bing hate, they got better years ago. DDG is a source in my SearXNG instance, does fine.
Yeah, it's like bing but actually anonymous.
