I know you can play the game at chrome://dino, but it doesn’t evoke the same nostalgic feeling of a 10yr old me turning on aeroplane mode and spamming space bar to try and beat my brother’s high score. Good memories.

      Honestly speaking, I’ve used Edge on Windows and have had no issues. It’s a decent browser not taking privacy into consideration. The only thing pissing me off is supporting the Chromium monopoly.

      I’m very glad it works for you. Edge is a perfectly fine browser ever since they ditched their engine and copied Google’s Chrome with a coat of paint and a couple extensions baked in.

      To be frank though, if Edge forking Chromium is the best the tech titan Microsoft can do, I’m genuinely disappointed in them, and I’d rather just use Chromium.

        They haven’t forked it though. They’re actively contributing to Chromium so Chrome users benefit as well.

      I use edge for my work accounts on my work computers. It’s nice to have passwords auto fill and everything integrated through my windows sign on, and be “air gapped” from my personal stuff. I find experience to be basically identical to my home surfing on other chromium-based browsers.

      For real I don’t even mind Edge. I use it for work though and it’s been great for what I need it to do. Firefox is for everything else that’s not work related.

    Edge is actually better than Chrome. Don’t @ me. I still prefer Firefox to both and always have.

      I have to use it at work and it’s fine. It’s just chromium. I don’t get the hate. I do get the hate against internet explorer though.

        It is just Chromium and the hate most likely comes from it being made by Microsoft which is completely stupid because it’s not like Google is any better. In fact, I would say they are worse that Microsoft since their business is entirely reliant on selling user data. Microsoft at least has other avenues of income allowing them to not completely relying on selling your data to the highest bidder. Let me be clear on this, I am aware that they all sell data because that is the business they are in.

        Also, Edge preforms better and does not phone home to google like other Chromium browser so…

            Edge probably has the smallest “chrome” of the lot once you enable vertical tabs and merge the address bar into the title bar.

        I just got a minisforum UM790 which comes with windows. So until I get my new SSD I’m checking out Windows 11. One thing I was happy about was that I could create a local account with no issue. No Winget without an internet account so I’m using chocolatey like I did long ago.

      I don’t know why but there’s some websites I frequently go to that either don’t work/load correctly with chrome or Firefox. I always made fun of my brother for using edge, but since I’ve started using it months ago I haven’t had any issues like I had before. Additionally, it seems to be better at managing memory because I’ve never seen it consume anywhere near the amount of ram that chrome does. Also, edge allows you to neatly put your tabs vertically on a side bar and allows you to group tabs without having to get 3rd party add-ons.

      Making fun of edge is like making fun of internet explorer, but feature-wise it’s the same/better than other browsers. Props to Firefox but it’s just never worked well for me

        Out of the 3 browsers. Edge freezes most of the time for me, and with each update Microsoft inserts more uneeded & annoying bloatware and gotta figure out how to disable it.

    The meme was designed in LibreOffice. It worked surprisingly well. Only open source software was used for the creation of this meme.

    I will always find it funny that people use Edge to download Chrome because they are essentially using Chrome to download a worse version of Chrome.

    Edge has replaced Chrome for me actually. If any time Firefox doesn’t work for me, or the website just runs better on Chrome, I use Edge. It’s chromium, so it does everything Chrome can do, plus a few features like PDF viewing, collections, and lower resource usage than Chrome (maybe).

      And, the hope is any Data Collection algorithms in it have been replaced by Microsoft. (Maybe with their own, but at least they don’t run an ad network)

      I use edge at work since it’s here and my pdfs auto open on it. It’s not that bad. I like how you can group tabs, makes things easier when doing research.
